PROBLEM
If lines and are parallel and , find . Choices: , , , .
STEP 1
Assumptions1. Line is parallel to line (denoted as )
. The measure of is
3. We are looking for the measure of
4. We are assuming the diagram is a parallel line diagram with transversal, where and are corresponding angles.
STEP 2
In a parallel line diagram with a transversal, corresponding angles are equal. This means that if two lines are parallel, then the measure of corresponding angles are the same.
SOLUTION
Now, we can plug in the given value for the measure of to find the measure of .
So, the measure of is .
