Mathematics Question on Checking For Parallel Lines

In the given figure, the arms of two angles are parallel. If ABC=70º∠ABC = 70º, then find:
two parallel angled arms

  1. DGC
  2. DEF
Answer

(i) Given, ABDEAB|| DE and BCBC is a transversal line and ABC=70\angle ABC=70\degree
ABC=DGC\therefore ∠ABC = ∠DGC [Corresponding angles]
DGC=70\therefore∠DGC =70\degree ……….(i)


(ii) Given, BCEFBC|| EF and DEDE is a transversal line and DGC=70\angle DGC=70\degree
DGC=DEF\therefore∠DGC = ∠DEF [Corresponding angles]
DEF=70\therefore∠DEF = 70\degree [From eq. (i)]
