Question

Line p is parallel to line q. If the measure of angle 3 is 54 what is the measure of angle 6?... Help

Answer 1

54 degrees

Explanation:

Answer 2

54°

Explanation:

Because p and q are parallel, angle 3 equal to angle 6 as they are alternative angles.

So angle 6 is 54°.

Alternative

Line p and line q is parallel, so that the sum of a pair of interior angles (angle 3 and angle 5, angle 4 and angle 6) are equal to 180°.

So angle 4 + angle 6 = 180°.

Find angle 4 first:

180° - angle 3 = angle 4

180° - 54° = 126°

So the measure of angle 6 is

180° - 126° = 54°
