In the diagram MN, PQ and RS are parallel lines. What is the value of the angle marked X?
Answer Details
MN || PQ || RS MN = PQ = RS (parallel lines) Label the angle in the lines a = i (corresponding angles are equal) b = x (corresponding angles are equal) If |MN| = |RS| If a = i and a = 63 = i a + b = 180 (Adjacent interior angles are supplementary i.e add to 180) ∴ i + x = 180 63 + x = 180 x = 180 - 63 x = 1170
