Solve corresponding and opposite angles when a line crosses perpendicular lines
Test your understanding of solve corresponding angles perpendicular by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Identify what we know about these angles. With a right angle like this we have to take a few more steps.
🎙️
We can solve for the upper left supplementary angle. It is 60 degrees.
🎙️
Now if we draw in a line that is parallel to the lower line of the 90 degree angle, we can see that 90 + 60 forms the corresponding angle to 'X', so it must be 150 degrees
🎙️
Now we can again use what we know about supplementary angles to solve for 'Y' as 30 degrees
