Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2017

In the diagram MN, PQ and RS are parallel lines. What is the value of the angle marked X?
A
123o
B
170o
C
117o
D
137o

Correct Option: C
MN || PQ || RS

MN = PQ = RS (parallel lines)

Label the angle in the lines

a = i (corresponding angles are equal)

b = x (corresponding angles are equal)

If |MN| = |RS|

If a = i

and a = 63 = i

a + b = 180 (Adjacent interior angles are supplementary i.e add to 180)

∴ i + x = 180

63 + x = 180

x = 180 - 63

x = 1170
