Solution
We are given a diagram with parallel lines , and we are asked to find the measure of given that .
Step-by-step solution:
-
Identify the parallel lines:
- are the two parallel lines, and acts as a transversal intersecting these lines.
-
Recognize the corresponding angles:
- Since and is a transversal, we know that the corresponding angles formed by these parallel lines and transversal are equal.
- Therefore, (which is ) is congruent to by the corresponding angles theorem.
-
Conclusion:
- Since , we have .
Thus, the measure of is .
