The value of the required angle is obtained as 65 degrees

Alternate angles, also known as alternate interior angles, are a pair of angles that are formed on opposite sides of a transversal line when two other lines are intersected by the transversal.

Understanding the properties of alternate angles is essential in geometry and helps in solving problems related to parallel lines and transversals.

We can see that;

m_26 + m_28 = 180(angles on a straight line)

2x - 5 + x + 5 = 180

2x + x - 5 + 5 = 180

3x = 180

x = 60

m_28 = mz37 (alternate angles)

m_28 = (x + 5)

Where x = 60

60 + 5 = 65 degrees

Missing parts;

m_26 is (2x - 5) and m_28 is (x + 5). What is mz37

A. 616

B. 78.

C - 65 degrees

D 90 degrees

M_26 is (2x - 5) and m_28 is (x + 5). What is mz37 A. 616 B. 78.-example-1
