What is the measure of angle x?

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal. An exterior angle on the left of the transversal is labeled as 40 degrees. An interior angle on the right of the transversal, which is not vertically opposite to the 40 degree angle, is labeled as x.

40 degrees
80 degrees
130 degrees
140 degrees

The vertical angle to the given 40 degrees would also be 40. That makes the 40 degrees on the interior a same-side interior angle with x. Same side interior angles must be supplementary if lines are parallel, so 140 degrees.

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

(I inserted a picture so you can understand)

Here is a picture example for transversals (it is in color)

Since the angle given is an obtuse angle, it can the 180 degrees at most.

You would subtract 180 from 40 to get your answer, 140.

180 - 40 = 140
