Question

In the image shown, line n is a transversal cutting parallel lines l and m. ∠2 = 2x + 50 ∠8 = x + 76 What is the measure of ∠2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alternate exterior angles are congruent. So, set the angles equal to each other and solve for x.

2x + 50 = x + 76

x = 26

So, ∠2 = 2x + 50 = 2(26) + 50 = 102°
