Exercise 2 Page 115

Use the relationship of angles between parallel lines.

Angle Measure: 82^(∘)
Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect

Let's consider the given diagram.

angles

To find the measure of ∠ 6, we will use the fact that when two lines intersect, vertical angles are formed on opposite sides of the point of intersection, and these angles are always congruent.

angles

Since 82^(∘) and ∠ 6 are vertical angles, these angles are congruent. m∠ 6 = 82^(∘)
