Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a horizontal line with arrows at both ends. Another line with arrows at both ends extends from top right to bottom left and intersects the horizontal line in the center. The intersecting line creates 4 angles. The angle at the top left is labeled x degrees. The angle at top right is labeled y degrees. The angles at bottom left and right below the horizontal line are not labeled.
What is the value of x if y°=71° ?
Since the two lines intersect, the angle at the top left is equal to the angle at the bottom right. Therefore, the value of x is 71 degrees as well.
Wrong
😑
Apologies for the mistake.
Since the two lines intersect, the opposite angles formed are equal. This means that x° is equal to the angle at the bottom right.
If we know that y° is equal to 71°, it means that x° is also equal to 71°.
