Identify the angle relationship and find the missing angle. Solve all.

Solution

Let's solve each problem step-by-step.

Problem 1

  1. Given Angle: 8080^\circ
  2. Angle Relationship: Since the angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and are formed by parallel lines, they are corresponding angles.
  3. Missing Angle Measure: By the Corresponding Angles Postulate, corresponding angles are equal. Therefore, x=80x = 80^\circ.

Problem 2

  1. Given Angle: 118118^\circ
  2. Angle Relationship: The angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, making them alternate exterior angles.
  3. Missing Angle Measure: Alternate exterior angles are congruent, so x=118x = 118^\circ.

Problem 3

  1. Given Angle: 158158^\circ
  2. Angle Relationship: These angles are also on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, so they are alternate exterior angles.
  3. Missing Angle Measure: Since alternate exterior angles are equal, x=158x = 158^\circ.
