In the diagram, lines m and n are parallel. If m∠2 = 150°, find the measure of the angle.

∠4 = ?

Directrix (directrix):

What type of angles are angles 4 and 2 with respect to two parallel lines cut by a transversal. You need to know that to select the theorem that gives the numerical relationship between the two angles.

Thanks

Directrix (directrix):

@Infinyte What did you get for the answer? What kind of angles are angles 2 and 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would mean that its 150 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they're obtuse

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, it would mean that its 150 right? Angles 2 and 4 are corresponding angles formed by a transversal that cuts two parallel lines. Theorem (Postulate in some texts) : If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent. Bottom Line: They have the same measure.

Oh ok.

@Directrix Cant message you, unless you fan me

Directrix (directrix):

Will fan you. @Infinyte
