Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. m<h = x°
Two angles to use in finding x are <h and 55°
Angle pair formed: linear pair angles
b. x° + 55° = 180° (linear pair)
Subtract 55° from each side
x + 55 - 55 = 180 - 55
x = 125°
c. Given: m<n = y°
Two angles to use in solving for y are: <h and <n
Angle pair formed: alternate exterior angles
d. m<n = y° (given)
m<n = x° = 125° (as solved in 2b)
Therefore:
y = x (alternate exterior angles are congruent)
thus:
y = 125° (substitution)
