If L||M And the measure of angle 7 is twice the measure of angle 2, then the measure of angle 7 is?
Solution:
We know about the transversal and related angles. The line I is the transversal.
Given that l and m are two parallel lines and angles 7 and 2 are interior angles.
Angle 7 = twice angle 2
Let the measure of angle 2 be x
Then measure of angle 7 = 2x
Since in parallel lines alternate angles are supplementary we have a sum of angle 7 and angle 2 form 180 degrees
i.e. x + 2x = 180
⇒ 3x = 180
⇒ x = 60
Hence the answer is angle 2 is 60 degrees and angle 7 is 120 degrees.
If L||M And the measure of angle 7 is twice the measure of angle 2, then the measure of angle 7 is?
Summary:
If L||M And the measure of angle 7 is twice the measure of angle 2, then the measure of angle 7 is 120.
