Two Parallel lines are cut by a transversal and form a pair of alternate exterior angles. One angle measures (6x+5) and other measures (7x+4). Explain how to determine what those other angles actually measure.

    The other angles will measure 83.9° and 96.1°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal and form a pair of alternate exterior angles, then the sum of the two exterior angles will be equal to 180° as shown;

    If one angle measures (6x+5) and other measures (7x+4), then;

    (6x+5) + (7x+4) = 180° (sum of two exterior angles)

    Firstly, lets get the value of x from the equation.

    6x+7x+9 = 180°

    13x = 180-9

    13x = 171

    x = 171/13

    x = 13.15°

    The first angle 6x+5 will measure 6 (13.15) + 5 = 83.9°

    The other angle 7x+4 will mesure 7 (13.15) + 4 = 96.1°
