Since I can't view or access uploaded images directly, I can't see the specific diagram or angles in your image. However, I can help you solve problems involving
interior angles formed by lines and transversals — which is likely what this worksheet is about.
Let me explain how to approach such problems, and if you describe the diagrams or list the given angle values, I can walk you through solving each one.

🔷 What Are Interior Angles?
When two
parallel lines are cut by a
transversal, several pairs of angles are formed:
-
Interior angles: These are the angles *between* the two parallel lines.
- There are two types of interior angles:
-
Same-side interior angles (also called consecutive interior angles): They lie on the *same side* of the transversal and *between* the parallel lines. These are
supplementary (add up to 180°).
-
Alternate interior angles: They lie on *opposite sides* of the transversal and *between* the lines. These are
equal (congruent) when the lines are parallel.
Additionally:
-
Vertical angles are always equal.
-
Corresponding angles are equal when lines are parallel.
-
Linear pairs (adjacent angles forming a straight line) add up to 180°.

🧩 Common Problem Types
Each problem on your worksheet likely shows:
- Two lines (possibly parallel),
- A transversal cutting them,
- Some angles labeled with variables or values,
- You’re asked to find an unknown angle.
---
✔ Step-by-Step Approach
1.
Identify if the lines are parallel (often assumed unless stated otherwise).
2.
Label known angles.
3. Use angle relationships:
- Vertical angles = equal
- Linear pairs = sum to 180°
- Alternate interior angles = equal (if lines are parallel)
- Same-side interior angles = supplementary (sum to 180°) if lines are parallel
- Corresponding angles = equal (if lines are parallel)

📌 Example Problem (Typical)
Suppose you have two parallel lines cut by a transversal. One interior angle is labeled $ x^\circ $, and the angle adjacent to it (on the same side) is $ 120^\circ $. Find $ x $.
#### Solution:
- The two angles form a linear pair → they are supplementary.
- So:
$$
x + 120^\circ = 180^\circ \Rightarrow x = 60^\circ
$$

If you describe the specific diagrams or give the angle values from the worksheet (e.g., “In problem 1, one angle is 50°, and I need to find the opposite interior angle”), I can help you solve each one.
Alternatively, if you can type out the angle values or describe the figures, I’ll guide you step by step!
Just let me know!
