Answer:
∠ 3 = 115°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ 6 and ∠ 8 are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180° , that is
2x - 5 + x + 5 = 180
3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 60
Then
∠ 6 = 2x - 5 = 2(60) - 5 = 120 - 5 = 115°
∠ 3 and ∠ 6 are alternate angles and are congruent , then
∠ 3 = 115°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles 6 and 8 form a linear pair, so:
Angles 3 and 6 are alternate interior angles and therefore congruent:
