Question
given ( mparallel n ), find the value of ( x ).
Step1: Use the property of consecutive interior angles
When two parallel lines \(m\parallel n\) are cut by a transversal \(t\), consecutive interior angles are supplementary. That is, the sum of the two angles is \(180^{\circ}\).
Let the angle of \(134^{\circ}\) and \(x^{\circ}\) be consecutive interior angles. So, we have the equation \(134 + x=180\).
Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)
Subtract \(134\) from both sides of the equation \(134 + x=180\).
\(x = 180-134\).
\(x = 46\).
