Question

in the diagram below, $overline{ab}$ is parallel to $overline{cd}$. what is the value of x? 72 108 62 18

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal. The angle of \(72^{\circ}\) and the angle \(x^{\circ}\) are corresponding angles.

Step2: Set up the equation

Since corresponding angles are equal, we have \(x = 72\).

Answer:

A. 72
