FINDING UNKNOWN ANGLE MEASURES—CONGRUENT ANGLES--#3-KEY

Directions: Find the measure of each missing angle in the parallel lines and transversals below. Each pair of angles
are either vertical angles or alternate angles, so they are congruent. All you have to do is set up and solve an equation
where the expressions are congruent. Once you’ve solved for x, plug that value back into each expression to find the
measure of each angle.
