Question

given $m \parallel n$, find the value of $x$.

(image of two parallel lines m and n cut by a transversal, with one angle labeled 76° and the other angle labeled $x$°)

answer attempt 1 out of 2

$x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of alternate exterior angles

When two parallel lines \(m\parallel n\) are cut by a transversal, alternate exterior angles are equal.
The angle of \(76^{\circ}\) and \(x^{\circ}\) are alternate exterior angles.

Answer:

\(x = 76\)
