Question

Find the measure of angle W in the attached diagram and explain how you found it.

Answer 1

∠W = 76 degrees

Explanation

In the given figure, draw another parallel line through the point W.

Here we have to use the transversal property.

If the parallel lines cut by transversal, the opposite interior angles are equal.

Since the parallel lines cut by a transversal, the opposite interior angles are equal.

Therefore, the angle W is the sum of 35 and 41. You can see it on the diagram.

∠W = 35 + 41

∠W = 76 degrees

Hope this will help you to understand the concept.

Thank you.
