2. Parallel Lines and Transversals
Sign In
Note that the lines cut by the transversal are parallel.
m∠1=150^(∘) (Corresponding Angles Theorem)
m∠2=150^(∘) (Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem)
To find m∠1, we can use the fact that 150^(∘) and ∠1 are corresponding angles. By the Corresponding Angles Theorem, they are congruent. Therefore, we have that m∠1=150^(∘).
There are two approaches we can take to find the measure of m∠2.
Let's think about the second approach. By the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, the pair of angles will be congruent because the lines that are cut by the transversal are parallel. Therefore, m∠2 is also 150^(∘).
