Math Problem Statement

Solve

Solve the marked angles in a geometry problem involving parallel lines and transversals.

Solution

The image contains two geometrical figures and related questions on angles formed by parallel lines and transversals.

Let's solve the relevant parts:

Question 3:

In the given figure, if ∠1 = 30°, find ∠2 and ∠3.

Solution:

  • Since lines are parallel and a transversal cuts through them, corresponding angles are equal.
  • ∠1 and ∠3 are corresponding angles, so ∠3 = 30°.
  • ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary (they form a straight line), so ∠2 = 180° - 30° = 150°.

Therefore:

  • ∠2 = 150°
  • ∠3 = 30°

Question 4:

Given that p || q and l || m, find the marked angles in the figure.

Figure (b):

The figure shows two parallel lines p and q, with a transversal line cutting through them, forming a series of angles.

  • The marked angle is 85°.

By using the property of corresponding angles and vertically opposite angles:

  • x is a corresponding angle to 85°, so x = 85°.

Therefore, the value of the marked angle is:

  • x = 85°

Tip:

When working with parallel lines and a transversal, always look for corresponding, alternate interior, or supplementary angles to solve for unknown values efficiently.
