Question

Use the following diagram of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer questions 3 through 9. 3. What is the measure of ∠8?

1) 45°
2) 145°
3) 55°
4) 135°
5) 155°

Answer 1

The measure of angle 8 cannot be determined without additional information or a diagram showing the parallel lines and the transversal. We need to know the relationships between angle 8 and the other angles to apply rules about parallel lines and transversals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of ∠8 when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, we need to consider the angles formed and their relationships. Without a diagram, we can only refer to general rules such as corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles are equal, and consecutive interior angles are supplementary. In this case, we are missing the required information to directly determine the measurement of ∠8. Therefore, based on the question alone, we are unable to provide an accurate answer.
