lemme see if i can help :P

anonymous · Answer

okay well using common sense angle 3 is an acute angle so it must be less than 60.

anonymous · Answer

the answer is 34
due to the alternate interior angle theorem.

anonymous · Answer

thank you! what is the alternate interior angle theorem? is it that one that states the opposite angles are the sum of the exterior angle?

anonymous · Answer

idk if I said that right....

anonymous · Answer

it explains the theorem right here miss: http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topics/alternate-interior-angles-theorem.html hope this helps!

anonymous · Answer

if they are inside the parallel lines and they are alternating then it is interior alternating angles if it is outside of the parallel lines then it is alternating exterior angles.

anonymous · Answer

sorry ment to say **alternating interior angles**

oh ok thanks for all the links! they've really helped :)
