Thanks for this, let me focus
Can I get more updates
These are GCE questions
I need the answer please
I need the answers please
the theory solution no 2b
88 m =180 co interior angle
m= 180-88
m=92
r m = 2*80 exterior angle is equal to d sum of interior
r m = 160
since m= 92
r = 160 -92
r =68
r n = 80 since r is 68
n = 80 -68
n = 12
m n = 92 12=104
Check it well
Obj answers please
