Question

In the figure shown, lines l and m are parallel and lines r and t are transversals. Find the measure of x.

Solution

$∠ A O C + 105^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$ [Co-interior angles]

Hence, $∠ A O C = 180^{\circ} - 105^{\circ} = 75^{\circ}$

$∠ A O B = 120^{\circ}$ [Corresponding angles]

$∠ A O B = ∠ A O C + ∠ B O C$

$\Rightarrow 120^{\circ} = 75^{\circ} + x$

$\Rightarrow x = 120^{\circ} - 75^{\circ} = 45^{\circ}$
