Question
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal as shown below.Suppose =m∠6126°. Find m∠1 and m∠4.
Solution
To find the measures of angles 1 and 4, we need to use the properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal.
-
Angle 1 and angle 6 are corresponding angles, as they are on the same side of the transversal and on the same side of the parallel lines. Therefore, m∠1 = m∠6.
-
Angle 6 and angle 2 are alternate interior angles, as they are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines. Therefore, m∠6 = m∠2.
-
Angle 2 and angle 4 are corresponding angles, as they are on the same side of the transversal and on the same side of the parallel lines. Therefore, m∠2 = m∠4.
Since we know that m∠6 = 126°, we can conclude that m∠1 = m∠6 = 126°.
Similarly, since m∠2 = m∠4, we can conclude that m∠4 = m∠2 = 126°.
Therefore, m∠1 = 126° and m∠4 = 126°.
