Question

finding angles in transversal problems (level 1)
score: 9/10
question
given ( mparallel n ), find the value of ( x ).
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
( x= )

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of supplementary angles

When two parallel lines \(m\parallel n\) are cut by a transversal, the sum of adjacent angles on the same side of the transversal is \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(x + 38=180\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(38\) from both sides of the equation \(x + 38=180\). We get \(x=180 - 38\).

Answer:

\(142\)
