Step-by-Step Solution
equals the angle above on the left (vertically opposite), and that angle is co-interior with across , so . With . The angle above on the right is , and corresponds to it, so .
Answer: B) 80°
Three straight streets l, m and n in a Chandigarh sector are parallel (arrow marks) and one road crosses all three. The marked angles satisfy : 4. Find .
Class 9Lines and AnglesGeometry — Lines and Angles
Key idea: Parallel lines and a transversal — the eight angles
When a transversal cuts two lines, **8 angles** are created (4 at each intersection). They are grouped into four pairs:
**Corresponding angles** — same position relative to each intersection (e.g., upper-left and upper-left).
**Alternate interior angles** — between the two lines, on opposite sides of the transversal.
**Alternate exterior angles** — outside the two lines, on opposite sides of the transversal.
**Co-interior (allied) angles** — between the two lines, on the SAME side of the transversal.
**If the two lines are parallel**:
- Corresponding angles are EQUAL.
- Alternate interior angles are EQUAL.
- Alternate exterior angles are EQUAL.
- Co-interior angles are SUPPLEMENTARY (sum 180°).
