Question

In the diagram below, DE is parallel to XY . What is the value of x?

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

X = 110°. Since straight line DE is parallel to straight line XY then that means in this transversal they will have the same measure of degree. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

DE is parallel to XY, so the corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, x = 110 degrees

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are on the same corresponding side of the parallel line. In this case, both are above their respective horizontal line. Also, corresponding angles are on the same side of the transversal line (in this case, the left side)
