A piece of property lies between two parallel streets as shown.m<1=(2x+6)°,and m<2=(3x+9)°.

What is the relationship between the angles? What are their measures?

Respuesta :

Both angles are consecutive interior angles, m∠1 measures 72° while m∠2 measures 108°.

A pair of consecutive interior angles is formed when a transversal cuts two parallel lines. This pair of consecutive interior angle are supplementary.

Therefore we can say that:

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° (consecutive interior angles are supplementary)

Therefore substituting gives:

(2x + 6) + (3x + 9) = 180

2x + 3x + 6 + 9 = 180

5x + 15 = 180

5x = 165

x = 33°

hence, m∠1 = 2x + 6 = 2(33) + 6 = 72°

m∠2 = 3x + 9 = 3(33) + 9 = 108°

Therefore m∠1 measures 72° while m∠2 measures 108°.
