Given information:
A fence on a hill uses vertical posts L and M to hold parallel rails N and P
The diagram is attached below
Here lines N and P are parallel lines
Transversal line for parallel lines N and P is line L
Calculation:
angle 1 and angle 16 are consecutive exterior angles
If parallel lines are cut by a transversal then consecutive exterior angles are supplementary.
<em><1 +< 16 = 180</em>
<em>115+ < 16 = 180</em>
<em>< 16 = 180 - 15</em>
<em>< 16 = 65</em>
<em />
<em>So measurement of angle 16 = 65 degrees.</em>
