Question

Find the values of the unknown angles marked with letters.
a=
b=
c=

Answer 1

a = 97° , b = c = 146°

Explanation:

a and 83° are same- side interior angles and sum to 180°

a + 83° = 180° ( subtract 83° from both sides )

a = 97°

34° and b are same- side interior angles and sum to 180°

b + 34° = 180° ( subtract 34° from both sides )

b = 146°

b and c are corresponding angles and are congruent , so

c = b = 146°

Answer 2

< a = 97 degrees.

< b = 146 degrees.

< c = 146 degrees.

Explanation:

We have 2 lines crossing 2 parallel lines.

Internal angles between the 2 parallel lines add up to 180 degrees, so

34 + <b = 180

<b = 180 - 34 = 146 degrees

Also

<a + 83 = 180 degrees (also internal angles)

---> <a = 97 degrees

< c and < b are corresponding angles so are congruent, therefore

<c = < b = 146 degrees.
