14. Given m ǁ n, find the value of x.
W. 121°
X. 59°
Y. Not enough information
Explain: To find the missing angle measure ___________________________________________ and ________________________________________ were used.
To find the missing angle measure, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a straight line is 180 degrees. Since m is parallel to n, the angle between them is equal to 180 - 121 = 59 degrees. Therefore, the value of x is 59 degrees. Therefore, the answer is X.
no its w but Explain: To find the missing angle measure ___________________________________________ and ________________________________________ were used.
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. To find the missing angle measure, we can use the fact that corresponding angles formed by a transversal and two parallel lines are congruent.
If m is parallel to n, and the given angle measures 59°, it means that the angle opposite to it (x) is also 59°. Therefore, the value of x is 59°. Thus, the correct answer is W.
Therefore, the corresponding angles theorem and the fact that angles in a straight line sum up to 180 degrees were used to find the missing angle measure.
