Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image shows two parallel lines (AB and CD) intersected by a transversal EF. The angles formed by the intersection of the lines and the transversal are labeled with algebraic expressions:
- at angle
- at angle
Given that AB and CD are parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal. Thus, .
We can set up the equation:
Solving the equation:
Now, substitute back into the angle expressions:
Thus, both angles measure .
