Math Problem Statement

Find the size of the angle marked t

Find the size of the angle marked t in Figure V.

Solution

The image shows a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal, and the question is asking to find the angle tt, given that the other angle adjacent to it on the transversal is 110110^\circ.

Since these two angles are on the same side of the transversal, they form a supplementary pair of angles (same-side interior angles). The sum of supplementary angles is always 180180^\circ.

We can find tt by subtracting 110110^\circ from 180180^\circ: t=180110=70t = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ

Therefore, the size of the angle tt is 7070^\circ, which corresponds to option A.

  4. How do vertical angles behave when two lines intersect?
  5. Can you explain how exterior angles of a transversal interact with parallel lines?

Tip: Always look for relationships between angles like corresponding, alternate, and supplementary when dealing with parallel lines and transversals.
