Find mZYN so that || . Show your work. Use Angle Relationships Find mZYN so that || . Show your work. Read the Item From the figure, you know that mWXP = 11x – 25 and mZYN = 7x + 35. You are asked to find mZYN. Example 2

m WXP = m ZYN Alternate exterior angles Use Angle Relationships Solve the Item WXP and ZYN are alternate exterior angles. For line PQ to be parallel to line MN, the alternate exterior angles must be congruent. So mWXP = mZYN. Substitute the given angle measures into this equation and solve for x. Once you know the value of x, use substitution to find mZYN. m WXP = m ZYN Alternate exterior angles 11x – 25 = 7x + 35 Substitution 4x – 25 = 35 Subtract 7x from each side. 4x = 60 Add 25 to each side. x = 15 Divide each side by 4. Example 2

Now use the value of x to find mZYN. Use Angle Relationships Now use the value of x to find mZYN. mZYN = 7x + 35 Original equation = 7(15) + 35 x = 15 = 140 Simplify. Answer: mZYN = 140 Check Verify the angle measure by using the value of x to find mWXP. mWXP = 11x – 25 = 11(15) – 25 = 140 Since mWXP = mZYN, WXP  ZYN and || . Example 2

Prove Lines Parallel CONSTRUCTION In the window shown, the diamond grid pattern is constructed by hand. Is it possible to ensure that the wood pieces that run the same direction are parallel? If so, explain how. If not, explain why not. Answer: Measure the corresponding angles formed by two consecutive grid lines and the intersecting grid line traveling in the opposite direction. If these angles are congruent, then the grid lines that run in the same direction are parallel by the Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate. Example 3

GAMES In the game Tic-Tac-Toe, four lines intersect to form a square with four right angles in the middle of the grid. Is it possible to prove any of the lines parallel or perpendicular? Choose the best answer. A. The two horizontal lines are parallel. B. The two vertical lines are parallel. The vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizontal lines. All of these statements are true. Example 3
