Question

Horizontal lines e and f are cut by vertical lines a and b. At the intersection of lines a and e, the uppercase right angle is (x + 1) degrees. At the intersection of lines a and f, the bottom right angle is (x minus 3) degrees. At the intersection of lines b and e, the bottom left angle is y degrees. If a ∥ b and e ∥ f, what is the value of y? 87 88 91 92

Answer 1

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: $y=90\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the description given in the exercise, you can draw the horizontal lines "e" and "f" cut by the vertical lines "a" and "b".

By definition, when a horizontal line and a vertical line intersect each other, the angle formed by this intersection measures 90 degrees.

A "Right angle" is defined as an angle that measures 90 degrees.

Therefore, if a vertical line intersects a horizontal line, you can say that they are perpendicular.

You can observe in the image attached that the vertical lines "a" and "b" cut the horizontal lines "e" and "f". Therefore, since $a||b$ and $e||f$, all the angles formed by this intersections measure 90 degrees.

Therefore, you can conclude that:

$y=90\°$
