Question

Please help! Parallel lines Pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

m∠A = 150°

m∠B = 30°

m∠E = 110°

Explanation:

Linear pair:

⇒ m∠A + 30° = 180°

⇒ m∠A = 150°

Alternate interior angles:

⇒ m∠B = 30°

Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

⇒ m∠C + 30° + 40° = 180°

⇒ m∠C = 110°

Linear pair:

⇒ m∠C + m∠D = 180°

⇒ 110° + m∠D = 180°

⇒ m∠D = 70°

Alternate interior angles:

⇒ m∠E = m∠C

⇒ m∠E = 110°
