1. Problem Description

We are given two parallel lines intersected by a transversal. Angle A is given as 160160^\circ. We need to find the measure of angle B.

2. Solution Steps

Since the two lines are parallel, and they are intersected by a transversal, angle A and angle B are same-side interior angles (also known as consecutive interior angles).
Same-side interior angles are supplementary, which means their measures add up to 180180^\circ.
Therefore, we have:
mA+mB=180m\angle A + m\angle B = 180^\circ.
We are given that mA=160m\angle A = 160^\circ. Substituting this into the equation, we get:
160+mB=180160^\circ + m\angle B = 180^\circ.
Subtracting 160160^\circ from both sides, we find:
mB=180160m\angle B = 180^\circ - 160^\circ.
mB=20m\angle B = 20^\circ.

3. Final Answer

The measure of angle B is 2020^\circ.
