B1 Must state parallel sides AB and CD (aii) Angle BCD 96= B1 because of the sum of interior angles in a pentagon. B1 Must mention pentagon (b) Angle BAC 18= (Base angles of an isosceles triangle) M1 Must state reason Since angle CAE + angle AED 120 78 18 180= + − = , they sum up to interior angles where AC is parallel to ED. Thus, as ACDE has two pairs of parallel sides, it is a parallelogram.
