  1. Parking Two workers paint lines for angled parking spaces. One worker paints a line so that m angle . 1 equals 65 .  The other worker paints a line so that m angle . 2 equals 65 .  Are their lines parallel? Explain.

    Two painted lines intersect a vertical line. Angle 1 is above the top line right of the vertical line. Angles 2 and 3 are left and right of the vertical line, respectively, below the bottom line.

Algebra Find the value of x for which l vertical linevertical line m .

  1. A transversal intersects two horizontal lines, l above m. Right of the transversal, the angle above l is 55 degrees and angle above m is (x + 25) degrees.
  2. A transversal intersects two lines, l left of m, forming X shape intersections. At m, at the top right intersection, the angle to the left is 95 degrees. At l, the bottom left intersection, the angle to the right is (2x minus 5) degrees.
  3. A transversal intersects two lines, l below m, forming X shape intersections. At m, at the top left intersection, the angle to the top is (3x minus 33) degrees. At l, the bottom right intersection, the angle to the bottom is (2x + 26) degrees.
  4. A transversal intersects three nearly vertical lines, l to the left, a perpendicular line in the middle, and m on the right. The angle above the transversal left of l is 105 degrees. The angle below the transversal left of m is (3x minus 18) degrees.
