Math Problem Statement

Given m || n, find the value of x.

Solution

To solve for xx in the given figure, where mnm \parallel n (parallel lines), we can use the property of alternate interior angles.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the relationship:
    Since mnm \parallel n and the transversal intersects them, alternate interior angles are congruent (equal).
    Therefore, the angle labeled 110110^\circ is equal to the angle labeled xx^\circ.

  2. Set up the equation:
    x=110x = 110^\circ

  3. Conclusion:
    The value of xx is: 110\boxed{110^\circ}
