Question

given m || n, find the value of x and y. answer attempt 1 out of 2 x = y =

Explanation:

Step1: Use vertical - angle property

Vertical angles are equal. Since \(x\) and \(49^{\circ}\) are vertical angles, \(x = 49^{\circ}\).

Step2: Use corresponding - angle property

Because \(m\parallel n\), \(y\) and the angle equal to \(49^{\circ}\) (the vertical - angle we just used) are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles of parallel lines are equal, so \(y=49^{\circ}\).

Answer:

\(x = 49\), \(y = 49\)
