Question

In the figure, parallel lines r and s are cut by line t

What is the value of x in this figure?

Answer 1

x = 49

Explanation:

2x - 8 and the right angle are corresponding angles and are congruent , then

2x - 8 = 90 ( add 8 to both sides )

2x = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 49

Answer 2

x = 49

Explanation:

Since the line is parallel, the value of 2x - 8 is equal to 90.

=> 2x - 8 = 90

=> 2x = 98

=> x = 49
