In each diagram, line g is parallel to line k, and line t intersects lines g and k.

Based on the diagrams, which statement about x is true?

• The value of x is 180, because the labeled angles in each diagram are supplementary and the sum of the measures of supplementary angles is 180 degrees.

• The value of x is 90, because the labeled angles in each diagram are complementary and the sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90 degrees.

• The value of x is 44, because the sum of the measures of the labeled angles in each diagram is 180 degrees.

• The value of x is 136, because the labeled angles in each diagram are congruent.
