When using a protractor, remember that you should place it at the vertex of the angle.
∠A=30^(∘), ∠B=105^(∘), ∠C=45^(∘), ∠D=150^(∘), ∠E=75^(∘), ∠F=105^(∘), ∠G=30^(∘)
We are given a diagram of two parallel lines and two transversals. We want to find the measures of the labeled angles.
To measure an angle, we can use a protractor. To do this, we place the middle of the base of the protractor at the vertex of the angle. Then, we align one of the rays of the angle with the segment marked 0 on the protractor.
The other ray of the angle marks the angle's measure on the protractor. Using this method, we can measure ∠A on our diagram.
The measure of ∠A is 30^(∘). In similar way, we can find the measures of other labeled angles.
We found that the measure of ∠B is 105^(∘), ∠C is 45^(∘), ∠D is 150^(∘), ∠E is 75^(∘), ∠F is 105^(∘), and ∠G is 30^(∘).
As we can see, there are two pairs of alternate interior angles. Notice that one pair of these angles measures 30^(∘) and the second pair measures 105^(∘). This means that we correctly used the protractor to measure these angles.
