Math Problem Statement
Find the size of the angle marked t
Solution
The image shows a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal, and the question is asking to find the angle , given that the other angle adjacent to it on the transversal is .
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 .
We can find by subtracting from :
Therefore, the size of the angle is , which corresponds to option A.
