The two lines are parallel and are cut by a transversal. Find the value of x.

Open in App

Solution

Since the lines are parallel, they form alternate interior angles.
Then, (4x-10)° = 58° (alternate interior angles are equal )
$\Rightarrow$ 4x = 68°
$\Rightarrow$ x = 17°

Hence the value of x is 17°.
