Problema Solution
The difference of the same side interior angles of two parallel lines is 50°. Find all angles.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
'x' represents the first angle
'y' represents the second angle
y - x = 50
The same-side interior angles that are formed are supplementary, or add up to 180 degrees:
x + y = 180
We have the following system of equations:
y - x = 50
x + y = 180

........
x = 65°
y = 115°
The angles are 65° and 115°.
