In the adjoining figure, Lines $a \parallel b$, c is a transversal. Find $\angle y$."
Given :
In the given figure, $a || b$ and c is a transversal.
To do :
We have to find $\angle y$.
Solution :
We know that,
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal.
Therefore,
$\angle y=55°$ (55° and $\angle y$ are alternate interior angles).
The value of $\angle y$ is 55°.
