Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal and one of the exterior angles is 120 degrees, what is the measure of the corresponding interior angle?
  • Step 1: Understand that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, they create angles.
  • Step 2: Identify that an exterior angle is formed outside the parallel lines.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the exterior angle of 120 degrees is related to the corresponding interior angle.
  • Step 4: Remember that the exterior angle and the corresponding interior angle are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
  • Step 5: To find the corresponding interior angle, subtract the exterior angle from 180 degrees: 180 - 120.
  • Step 6: Calculate the result: 180 - 120 = 60 degrees.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the measure of the corresponding interior angle is 60 degrees.
