Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

Given that lines ll, mm, and nn are parallel, the angle xx^\circ can be found using the properties of alternate interior angles.

Solution:

  1. Since lmnl \parallel m \parallel n, the angles formed with the transversal line are congruent.
  2. The given angle is 4747^\circ. Since alternate interior angles are equal, the corresponding angle to 4747^\circ on line ll is also 4747^\circ.
  3. Therefore, x=47x = 47^\circ.

The value of xx is 4747^\circ.

  2. If one of the angles is 6060^\circ, what would be its alternate interior angle?
  3. How do you identify corresponding angles in parallel lines?
  4. What is the relationship between alternate exterior angles in parallel lines?
  5. How do you prove two lines are parallel using angle properties?

Tip: When working with parallel lines, remember that corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles are congruent.
