Math Problem Statement

Given l || m || n, find the value of x.

Solution

The problem involves three parallel lines lmnl \parallel m \parallel n and a transversal that forms an angle xx^\circ with line ll and a 4949^\circ angle with line nn. We need to determine the value of xx.

Solution:

  1. Understand the Parallel Lines and Angles:

    • When a transversal intersects parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal.
    • Here, since lmnl \parallel m \parallel n, the angles formed with the transversal will be equal due to corresponding angle relationships.
  2. Identify Corresponding Angles:

    • The angle of 4949^\circ given at the intersection with line nn is corresponding to the angle xx at line ll.
    • Thus, xx^\circ and 4949^\circ are corresponding angles.
  3. Set Up the Equation:

    • Since corresponding angles are equal: x=49x = 49^\circ

Final Answer:

x=49x = 49^\circ

Tip: When working with parallel lines and transversals, remember that corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and vertically opposite angles are key relationships to identify.
