Answer:
A. p = 32°
Explanation:
Corresponding angles are angles that are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. They are located on the same side of the transversal in corresponding positions. Corresponding angles are always congruent to each other.
In this case:
90° and (3p - 6)° are corresponding angles.
So, they are equal.
We can write it as:
90° = (3p - 6)°
Add 6 on both sides.
90 + 6 = 3p - 6 + 6
96 = 3p
Divide both sides by 3.
32° = p
Therefore, answer is:
A
given a pair of parallel lines , then
3p - 6 and right angle ( indicated by box ) are corresponding angles and are congruent , then
3p - 6 = 90 ( add 6 to both sides )
3p = 96 ( divide both sides by 3 )
p = 32
