Math Problem Statement
what does x equal to?
Solution
To solve for , I'll analyze the angles in the image. The diagram shows intersecting lines, with angles marked, and a linear pair of angles that are supplementary.
Analyzing the Diagram:
- The given angle .
- The angle (which is labeled as ) and form a linear pair, which means they are supplementary.
Applying the Supplementary Angles Theorem:
Since and are supplementary, we know that: Substitute the given angle and the expression for :
Solving for :
So, .
Would you like a more detailed explanation or have any questions about this?
Here are five additional questions related to this problem:
- What are supplementary angles, and how do they relate to linear pairs?
- How can you identify corresponding angles in parallel line problems?
- If another angle was given as , how would you solve for ?
- How do vertical angles relate to each other in this context?
- What are the properties of angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines?
Tip: Remember that the sum of angles on a straight line always equals 180 degrees, which is useful in many geometry problems.
