Finding Angle Measurements Using Corresponding Angles

This video tutorial teaches how to find angle measurements when parallel lines are cut by a transversal using corresponding angles. It reviews similar figures, supplementary angles, and common mistakes with transversals. The lesson explains corresponding angles and their congruency, and demonstrates solving for x using a real-world example involving New York City streets.

What is the sum of two supplementary angles?

• 45 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 90 degrees

Which of the following is true about corresponding angles in similar figures?

• They are always supplementary.

• They are congruent to each other.

• They are always equal to 90 degrees.

• They are never equal.

What is a common mistake students make when dealing with transversals?

• Assuming all angles are congruent.

• Assuming all angles are supplementary.

• Assuming all angles are acute.

• Assuming all angles are right angles.

When a transversal cuts two parallel lines, which of the following is true about the corresponding angles?

• They are always acute.

• They are always obtuse.

• They are congruent.

• They are always supplementary.

In the problem-solving example, what is the value of x when 3x - 15 corresponds to 105 degrees?

• 50

• 40

• 45

• 35
