Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this problem, you are asked to find the measure of given that:
- (lines and are parallel),
- .
Step-by-step solution:
-
Identify the relationship between the angles: Since and is a transversal, angles and are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal when a transversal crosses two parallel lines.
-
Apply the corresponding angle theorem: Therefore, .
-
Substitute the value of : We know .
Thus, .
