2. Answer :

From the given figure, 

∠F and ∠H are vertically opposite angles and they are equal. 

Then, ∠H  =  ∠F -------> ∠H  =  65°

∠H and ∠D are corresponding angles and they are equal. 

Then, ∠D  =  ∠H -------> ∠D  =  65°

∠D and ∠B are vertically opposite angles and they are equal. 

Then, ∠B  =  ∠D -------> ∠B  =  65°

∠F and ∠E are together form a straight angle.

Then, we have

∠F + ∠E  =  180°

Plug ∠F  =  65°

∠F + ∠E  =  180°

65° + ∠E  =  180°

∠E  =  115°

∠E and ∠G are vertically opposite angles and they are equal. 

Then, ∠G  =  ∠E -------> ∠G  =  115°

∠G and ∠C are corresponding angles and they are equal. 

Then, ∠C  =  ∠G -------> ∠C  =  115°

∠C and ∠A are vertically opposite angles and they are equal. 

Then, ∠A  =  ∠C -------> ∠A  =  115°

Therefore, 

∠A  =  ∠C  =  ∠E  =  ∠G  =  115°

∠B  =  ∠D  =  ∠F  =  ∠H  =  65°

3. Answer :

From the given figure, 

∠(2x + 20)° and ∠(3x - 10)° are corresponding angles. 

So, they are equal. 

Then, we have

2x + 20  =  3x - 10

30  =  x

So,

x  =  30°

4. Answer :

From the given figure, 

∠(3x + 20)° and ∠2x° are consecutive interior angles. 

So, they are supplementary. 

Then, we have

3x + 20 + 2x  =  180°

5x + 20  =  180°

5x  =  160°

x  =  32°
