Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What does this problem give us</u>:
- a || b ⇒ a is parallel to b
- c ⇒ is a transversal
- m∠5 ⇒ 52°
<u>What does this problem want us to find</u>:
- measure of ∠6
- measure of ∠7
<u>Let's solve:</u>
⇒ by the <em>vertical angle theorem</em> is equal in measure to ∠5
⇒ ∠6 = 52°
⇒ lines a and b are parallel
⇒ the corresponding angles on both lines formed by the
transversal are equal
i.e. m∠2 = m∠3, m∠7 = m∠8
⇒ ∠8 is on a straight line with ∠6
⇒ since m∠8 is equal to m∠7
⇒ m∠7 = 128
<em>Definitions</em>
- <em>Vertical Angle Theorem: two opposite angles formed by intersecting lines are equal</em>
<em />
<u>Answer:</u>
- <u>∠6 = 52°</u>
- <u>∠7 = 128°</u>
<em />
Hope that helps!
