Refer to the figure on the right. x =, y = Explain your reasoning with a paragraph proof.

Solution

Angles on the same line sum upto 180

So, x and 85 form a 180 angle sum

So, x=95

Also, y and 72 pair to form 180. Since they are parallel lines.

They parallel lines because x=95 and the alternate angle is equal to same i.e. 95

Which means c and d are parallel.

So, y+72=180

y = 108
