1. Problem Description
We are given a diagram with parallel lines cut by a transversal. We need to find the values of , , and .
2. Solution Steps
First, we can establish a relationship between and because the lines are parallel and these angles are alternate interior angles, which must be equal.
Solve for :
Next, we observe the right angle in the diagram. The angle and the right angle (90 degrees) form a linear pair. This means they are supplementary, and their sum is 180 degrees. But it looks like it is complementary with .
Therefore,
Substitute :
Now, let's find the value of the angle .
So the angle degrees.
Also, we can find the angle .
The angle degrees.
The angles and are supplementary angles. Therefore, .
Substituting the value of :
