Question: In a triangle, if one angle measures 40 degrees and another angle measures 60 degrees, what is the measure of the angle formed by a transversal intersecting the line parallel to the base of the triangle?
Options:
Correct Answer: 80 degrees
Solution:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. The third angle is 180 - (40 + 60) = 80 degrees. The angle formed by the transversal is equal to this angle.
