If j || k, what must be the measure of the angle
marked x?
45°
A. 45°
56°
B. 56
B
C. 74°
56
D. 79

Answer:
D. 79°
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x has no relationship with the lines being parallel. That is ensured by the angle to the left of x being 56°.
The total of 56°, x, and 45° must be 180°, as together they form a linear angle.
x = 180° -56° -45°
x = 79°
