Part 7.1· 2 steps
Identify the relationship between the angles.
Angles and are consecutive interior angles (also known as co-interior angles) because they are between the parallel lines and and on the same side of the transversal line .
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, consecutive interior angles are supplementary, meaning their sum is .Set up the equation and solve for .
The value of is .
Part 7.2
Given . We need to find the values of , , and .
From the diagram:
Find the value of .
Angles and are angles on a straight line . Therefore, their sum is .
Find the value of .
Since and is a transversal, and are alternate interior angles.
Relate and using parallel lines.
Since and is a transversal, and are alternate interior angles.
From the diagram, .
So, we have the equation:
Use the sum of angles in .
The sum of angles in a triangle is .
Substitute the value of :
Solve the system of equations for and .
Substitute equation (1) into equation (2):
Now substitute the value of back into equation (1) to find :
The values are:
