Question

Find the measure of x.
120°
P
Q
R
S
15(x+2)
U

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

∠ UST and ∠ PRQ are alternate exterior angles and are congruent (equal), then

∠ UST = ∠ PRQ ( substitute values )

15(x + 2) = 120 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x + 2 = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 6

Answer 2

The answer for this problem is x=6
