Math Problem Statement

BEG is a triangle. ABC and DEF are parallel lines. Work out the size of angle x.

Solution

To determine the size of angle xx in triangle BEGBEG, we can proceed by using angle properties in parallel lines and triangles. Here's the solution step-by-step:

  1. Identify the Corresponding Angles: Since ABCABC and DEFDEF are parallel lines:

    • The angle B\angle B (34.8°) and GEF\angle GEF (25.6°) will allow us to work out angle EBG\angle EBG.
  2. Determine EBG\angle EBG:

    • In triangle BEGBEG, the sum of interior angles is 180°.
    • We know two angles:
      • EBG=34.8°\angle EBG = 34.8°
      • BEG=25.6°\angle BEG = 25.6°
    • Use the sum of angles in a triangle: [ \angle EBG + \angle BEG + x =
