Every line and angle seems to be hanging out there…
- 00:27
…our guess is they’ve got some slammin’ fro yo.
- 00:31
…we’ve got angle y and angle ABC, which are alternate interior angles.
- 00:37
We know that because we’re told lines j and k are parallel.
- 00:40
So those two HAVE to add up to 180, by definition. We don’t know the measure of angle x…
- 00:47
…but we DO get the heads-up that line l bisects ABC… meaning that ABC equals 2x.
- 00:55
So, really…we’re looking at the equation y plus 2x equals 180.
- 01:01
We know y is 117 degrees… so
- 01:04
117 plus 2x equals 180.
- 01:07
Subtract 117 from both sides to get 2x = 63…
- 01:11
…then divide both sides by 2, and x equals 31.5 degrees.
- 01:16
Which is just a LITTLE warmer than the fro yo they’re serving at Point B.
- 01:19
The flavor’s good, but it’s a little on the drippy side….
