Answer:
- x = 1.5
- m∠1 = 32.5
- m∠2 = 32.5
Explanation:
Angles 1 and 2 are corresponding and they have equal measures since r and s are parallel.
Use the equation below and find the value of x:
- m∠1 = m∠2
- 40 - 5x = 70 - 25x
- 25x - 5x = 70 - 40
- 20x = 30
- x = 30/20
- x = 1.5
Find the angle measure:
- m∠1 = m∠2 = 40 - 5*1.5 = 32.5°
