Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks for , given that and are parallel lines and .
Steps to solve:
-
Identify the transversal: Line acts as a transversal intersecting the parallel lines and .
-
Use the Alternate Interior Angle Theorem: Since and is a transversal, alternate interior angles formed by the transversal with the parallel lines are equal.
So, is an alternate interior angle to , meaning:
Thus, the measure of is 121°.
