Question

One way to build stairs is to attach triangular blocks to an angled support, as shown at the right. If the support makes a 32° angle with the floor, what must mâ 1 be so the step will be parallel to the floor? The sides of the angled support are parallel. *

Answer 1

Answer: m∠1 = 32°
Explanation:
Since we have given that
The angled support making angle with the floor = 32°
So, we need to find the measure of angle 1 so that the steps are parallel to the floor.
As we know that "To make parallel to the floor , there should be alternate interior angle which must be equal."
So, m∠1 = 32° ( the angled support making angle with the floor)
Hence, m∠1 = 32°
