Question

In the given figure, if l || m, find the values of a and b.

Sum

Solution

Since, l, m are parallel lines and t is transversal.

Therefore, ∠EAB + ∠DBA = 180°

⇒ b + 132° = 180°  ......[Consecutive interior angles]

⇒ b = 180° – 132°

⇒ b = 48°

Again, l m are parallel lines and s is transversal.

Therefore, ∠EAC + ∠BCA = 180° 

⇒ a + b + 65° = 180°  ......[Consecutive interior angles]

⇒ a + 48° + 65° = 180°  ......[∵ b = 48°]

⇒ a = 180° – 48° – 65°

⇒ a = 67°
