Solution
To solve for in the given geometric figure, we need to utilize the properties of parallel lines and angles. Here, .
-
Notice that the angles labeled 130° and are supplementary because they form a straight line. Therefore: Solving for :
-
Now we need to check if there are other relationships. The angle 101° is part of a triangle where the interior angles sum to 180°.
Considering the triangle formed by the 101° angle, the 130° angle, and the top unknown angle:
From supplementary angles:
Thus, confirming .
Would you like any further details or explanations on this solution?
Here are some additional questions to expand on the topic:
- What are supplementary angles, and how are they used in geometry?
- How do the properties of parallel lines affect the angles formed by a transversal?
- What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle, and how can it be applied to find unknown angles?
- How can we determine the types of angles (corresponding, alternate interior, etc.) formed by parallel lines and a transversal?
- What other geometric principles can be used to solve for unknown angles in more complex figures?
Tip: Always check for supplementary and complementary angles when working with parallel lines and transversals. This can simplify finding unknown angles.
