Given:
Consider the below figure attached with this question.
and
.
To find:
The measure of angle 3.
Solution:
From the below figure it is clear that, angle 3 and angle 4 are vertically opposite angles.
We know that, vertically opposite angles are always equal. So,
Now,
Therefore, the measure of angle 3 is 140 degrees.
Answer:
The correct option is;
Corresponding angles theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
Type of lines of lines a and b = Horizontal and parallel lines
The transversal to a and b = Line c
The angles between a and c labelled clockwise from the upper left quarter segment = 1, 2, 4 and 3
The angles between b and c labelled clockwise from the upper left segment = 5, 6, 8 and 7
Therefore, we have;
Statement Reason
1. a║b, c is a transversal Given
2. ∠6 ≅ ∠2 Corresponding angles theorem
3. m∠6 = m∠2 Definition of congruent
4. ∠6 is supp. to ∠8 Definition of linear pair
5. ∠2 is supp. to ∠8 Congruent supplement theorem
Corresponding angles are the angles located in spatially similar or matching corners of two lines that have been crossed by the same transversal. When the two lines having a common transversal are parallel, the corresponding angles will be congruent.
