11. Since 6 and 7 are supplementary, the sum of their measures is 180°.
Find an Angle Measure
GATES Mr. Adams installed the gate shown. Line c is parallel to line d. If m4 = 40°, find m6 and m7. Justify your answer.
Since 4 and 6 are interior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal, they are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent. So, m6 = 40.
Since 6 and 7 are supplementary, the sum of their measures is 180°.
m7 = 180° – 40° or 140°

13. GATES Use the gate shown. Line c is parallel to line d
GATES Use the gate shown. Line c is parallel to line d. If m1 = 142°, find m8.
A. 38°
B. 42°
C. 52°
D. 142°
Example 3 CYP

14. Find the Missing Measures
In the figure, line a is parallel to line b, and line c is perpendicular to line d. The measure of 7 is 125°. What is the measure of 4?
7 and the sum of 5 and 4 are alternate exterior angles. So, m5 + m4 = 125.
Since m5 = 90°, m4 = 125 – 90 or 35°.
Answer: m4 = 35°
