Question

Find x so that al|b. State the converse used.
(4x – 18)

Answer 1

• x = 28

Explanation:

The transversal is cutting both a and b lines.

In order to a and b be parallel, we should have corresponding angles be of same measure. The angles marked as right angle and the angle marked as (4x - 18) are corresponding angles.

This is:

• 4x - 18 = 90
• 4x = 108
• x = 108/4
• x = 28
