1. Problem Description
We are given a diagram with two lines and angles labeled , , and . The line segment is parallel to the line segment . We need to find the relation between angles and .
2. Solution Steps
Let the line segment that connects points and be .
Since is parallel to , the alternate interior angles formed by the transversal are equal.
Let the angle between and the line segment be . The alternate interior angle, i.e., the angle between and , must be equal to . Thus, the angle between and is also .
In the triangle , the sum of the angles is degrees. The angles are and where the angle refers to the angle between and .
Consider the angle . This angle can be written as the sum of two smaller angles. The angles are and the interior angle of the triangle at vertex . Thus, the angle between line segment and is . This implies that .
Therefore, .
