Question

Lines PQ and BC are parallel.
What is the value of x ?

Answer 1

x = 40

Explanation:

since lines PQ and BC are parallel , then

∠ BCQ and ∠ AQP are corresponding angle and are congruent , that is

∠ BCQ = 80°

the sum of the 3 angles in Δ ABC = 180° , then

x + 80 + 60 = 180

x + 140 = 180 ( subtract 140 from both sides )

x = 40
