If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2:3, then the measure of the smaller angle is:
- A.54°
- B.72°Correct answer
- C.108°
- D.36°
Solution
Let the two interior angles on the same side of the transversal be and . We know that consecutive interior angles for parallel lines are supplementary, so . This gives , or . The smaller angle is .
