34. Given Figure 2 as marked, find 𝑥 so that the lines 𝑚 and 𝑛 are parallel.
There are two missing interior angle measurements on the right triangle. One measurement can be
obtained by 180 − 130 = 50°.(Because they are linear pair). Now that we have the measurement of
one angle, we can now compute for the measure of the last interior angle:
180 = 90° + 50° + 𝑚∠
180 − 140 = 40°
The position of 40° 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑥 are alternate interior angles. And alternate interior angles are congruent
angles. Therefore, the measure of x is also 𝟒𝟎°.
