Since lines AB and CD are perpendicular, angles 1 and 2 are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent when two lines are perpendicular.
Therefore, 27° = 4x + 3°.
Subtracting 3° from both sides of the equation:
24° = 4x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
6° = x.
Thus, the value of x is 6.
Therefore, 27° = 4x + 3°.
Subtracting 3° from both sides of the equation:
24° = 4x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
6° = x.
Thus, the value of x is 6.
