Identify the relationship between the angles.
The angles , , and lie on the straight line ABC. The sum of angles on a straight line is .
Set up and solve the equation for .
Reason: Angles on a straight line.
The value of is .
Part 4.2
Identify parallel lines and transversals.
The lines PQ and RS are parallel (indicated by the arrows). The other two lines are transversals.
Find the size of .
Angle and the angle (at P) are alternate interior angles. Since PQ is parallel to RS, alternate interior angles are equal.
Reason: Alternate interior angles (PQ RS).
Find the size of .
Angle and the angle (at Q) are alternate interior angles. Since PQ is parallel to RS, alternate interior angles are equal.
Reason: Alternate interior angles (PQ RS).
Find the size of .
Consider the triangle formed by the intersection of the two transversals and the line segment RS. The angles at R and S within this triangle are and . The angle vertically opposite to is the third angle in this triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is .
Let the angle at the intersection point inside the triangle be .Angle is vertically opposite to . Vertically opposite angles are equal.
Reason: Vertically opposite angles and sum of angles in a triangle.
The sizes are: , , .
Part 4.3
