Examples with solutions for Angles in Parallel Lines: Three parallel lines

Exercise #1

Given three parallel lines

Findα,β \alpha,\beta

αααβββ383838140

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We will mark the angle opposite the vertex of 38 with the number 1, therefore, angle 1 is equal to 38 degrees.

We will mark the angle adjacent to angle β \beta with the number 2. And since angle 2 corresponds to the angle 140, angle 2 will be equal to 140 degrees

Since we know that angle 1 is equal to 38 degrees we can calculate the angleα \alpha α=18038=142 \alpha=180-38=142

Now we can calculate the angleβ \beta

180 is equal to angle 2 plus the other angleβ \beta

Since we are given the size of angle 2, we replace the equation and calculate:

β=180140=40 \beta=180-140=40

Answer

α=142 \alpha=142 β=40 \beta=40

Exercise #2

Look at the angles formed by parallel lines in the figure below:

646464XXX757575

What is the value of X?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Given that the three lines are parallel:

The 75 degree angle is an alternate angle with the one adjacent to angle X on the right side, and therefore is also equal to 75 degrees.

The 64 degree angle is an alternate angle with the one adjacent to angle X on the left side, and therefore is also equal to 64 degrees.

Now we can calculate:

64+x+75=180 64+x+75=180

x=1807564=41 x=180-75-64=41
