Given:
A figure in which a transversal line t intersect the two parallel lines a and b.
To find:
The measure of the numbered angles.
Solution:
If a transversal line intersect the two parallel lines, then
1. Corresponding angles are equal.
2. Alternate interior angles are equal.
3. Alternate exterior angles are equal.
Now,
(Linear pair)
(Vertically opposite angles)
(Vertically opposite angles)
(Corresponding angles)
(Alternate interior angles)
(Alternate exterior angles)
(Corresponding angles)
Therefore, .
