EXAMPLE
A

Find 2


B
EXAMPLE
Find the measure of x

The given are same side interior angles. The lines

are parallel therefore the angles add up to 180

(2x+ 43) + (2x-3)

(4x + 40) = 180
4x = 140
x= 35

THEOREM 2.6

 If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then

same side exterior angles are supplementary.

Given: l m transversal t cuts l and m

Prove: 2 is supplementary to 8
Proof:
