Question

In the following diagram \overline{DE} \parallel \overline{FG}

Answer 1

Answer:

<x = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<BCA = m<GCJ (vertical angles)

m<BCA = 59° (substitution)

Since line KL is perpendicular to line FG, the angle formed at point B is 90°.

Therefore, m<ABC = 90°

m<BAC + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)

m<BAC + 90° + 59° = 180° (Substitution)

m<BAC + 149° = 180°

m<BAC = 180° - 149°

m<BAC = 31°

<x = <BAC (vertical angles)

m<x = 31° (substitution)
