Question

In this figure, AB || CD and mZ6 = 75" What is mZ3? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:

If parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then same-side interior angles are supplementary.

Lines AB and CD are parallel, and angles 3 and 6 are same-side interior angles, so by the theorem above, angles 3 and 6 are supplementary. That means that the sum of their measures is 180 deg.

m<3 + m<6 = 180

m<3 + 75 = 180

Subtract 75 from both sides.

m<3 = 105

Answer: 105 degrees
