Transcript text: Given $m \| n$, find the value of x .
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given angle
The given angle is 52°. This angle is above the top parallel line and to the left of the transversal line _l_.
Step 2: Find the corresponding angle
The angle _x_ is below the bottom parallel line and to the left of the transversal line _l_. This makes the given angle and angle _x_ corresponding angles.
Step 3: Corresponding angles are congruent.
Since the lines are parallel, corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore, the measure of angle _x_ is equal to the measure of the given angle.
