Math Problem Statement
In the figure below, △TUV is drawn. The line WTX is drawn such that WTX is parallel to UV. The angles in the triangle include ∠TUV = 82° and ∠TUX = 53°. What is the measure of ∠TUV?
Solution
In the given image, you have triangle , and the line is drawn such that .
From the diagram, we are given two angles:
We need to determine .
Since the line , this forms a pair of corresponding angles between the transversal . Therefore, by the Corresponding Angles Postulate. This means that .
Thus, .
Do you want any further details or clarification?
Here are some related questions for further practice:
- How do you find corresponding angles when parallel lines are involved?
- What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?
- How can you verify that two lines are parallel based on angle relationships?
- What other angle properties can you use when parallel lines and transversals are present?
- Can the exterior angle theorem be applied to solve any angles here?
Tip:
Remember, when two lines are parallel, corresponding angles are always equal when cut by a transversal. This property is highly useful in geometry problems involving parallel lines.
