Find the value of (x+y) in the diagram, where the two horizontal lines are parallel.
Worked solution (try it first)
The transversal marked
110∘ makes
110∘ with the rightward direction at both parallel lines (corresponding angles).
So
y=180∘−110∘=70∘ (angles on a straight line).
The other transversal makes
35∘ with the rightward direction at both lines, so at the lower line
x=180∘−35∘=145∘.
So
x+y=145∘+70∘=215∘, option A.
