Question 1 of 5
A surveyor records angle measures formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines, as shown in the table.
If angles 1 and 2 are same-side interior angles, what is the measure of angle 2?
Explanation
When a transversal crosses two parallel lines, same-side interior angles are supplementary, so their measures add to . Since angle 1 is , angle 2 is . Therefore, the correct answer is .
Concept summary
For two parallel lines cut by a transversal, same-side interior angles are supplementary, meaning their measures sum to .
