Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the given figure, it is stated that the measure of angle 2 () is . The diagram shows two parallel lines and , with a transversal intersecting them.
By the properties of parallel lines and transversals, angle 2 and angle 5 are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure when the lines are parallel.
Thus, .
So, .
Would you like more details on parallel line properties or angle relationships?
Here are 5 related questions you could consider:
- What are the properties of alternate interior angles?
- How can we identify vertically opposite angles in this diagram?
- What is the measure of angle 4 in the diagram?
- Are angles 3 and 6 congruent? Why or why not?
- How would the answer change if the lines and were not parallel?
Tip: When working with parallel lines and transversals, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and vertically opposite angles often share congruent properties.
