Math Problem Statement

Given l || m || n, find the value of x as shown in the provided diagram.

Solution

Let’s solve the problem given in the image.


Problem:

We are tasked to find the value of xx^\circ, given the following:

  • Lines ll, mm, and nn are all parallel (lmnl \parallel m \parallel n).
  • The angle adjacent to xx^\circ is 6565^\circ.

Solution:

Key Observations:

  1. Since lmnl \parallel m \parallel n, and the transversal intersects them, the corresponding and alternate interior angles are equal.

  2. The angle xx^\circ is on the opposite side of the transversal from 6565^\circ. Because the transversal creates alternate interior angles, x=65x^\circ = 65^\circ.


Final Answer:

x=65x = 65^\circ


Would you like a detailed breakdown of the geometry concepts involved? Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What are alternate interior angles, and why are they equal for parallel lines?
  2. How do corresponding angles behave when two lines are parallel?
  3. If lmnl \parallel m \parallel n, what other relationships can be deduced between the angles in this setup?
  4. What happens when the transversal crosses at different angles with parallel lines?
  5. Can you find other angles in this diagram if given additional values?

Tip: Always look for alternate interior, corresponding, and supplementary angles when solving parallel line problems with a transversal!
