In Fig. 8.140, if lines l and m are parallel lines, then x =

Given that,

l m


Let, l m and transversal cuts them and


1 = 70o


3 = 20o


4 = 30o


1 + 2 = 180o (Interior angle)


2 = 110o (i)


2 = 5 (Vertically opposite angle)


5 = 110o (ii)


5 + 3 + 4 = 180o (Sum of angles of a triangle is 180o)


110o + x + 30o = 180o


x = 40o
