Question

The figure below shows a pair of parallel oil pipelines, PQ and RS. EF and GH are maintenance walkways that are parallel to each other.

What is the measure of angle GMS?

Answer 1

where is a figure

Answer 2

i need like step by step on how to solve this...

Answer 3

What is angle RNE?

Answer 4

Hint: corr. angles, PQ//RS

Answer 5

is it 50?

Answer 6

Yes!
Next, what is the angle NMG?

Answer 7

i have no clue

Answer 8

Hint: corr. angles, EF//GH

Answer 9

50

Answer 10

Yes.
Now, what is the angle of GMS?

Answer 11

50

Answer 12

Nope :(
angle NMG and angle GMS lie on the st. line. Use sum of adj. angles on st. line = 180 to find it out. Can you?

Answer 13

no....i have no idea on what to do

Answer 14

angle NMG + angle GMS = 180
You've found angle NMG. Put that value into the above equation and solve angle GMS.

Answer 15

130?

Answer 16

Yes. It should be :)

Answer 17
