Answer:
144 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw yourself a diagram with 2 horizontal lines and a transversal cutting across it.
After labeling, you will see that angle 4 is the same as angle 1. You can also see that angle 1 and 2 add up to 180, as they are sitting on a straight line.
First, before we get to the angle of 4, we have to find the value of x:
1) angle 1 + angle 2 = 180
3x + 12x = 180
2) solve the above equation for x
15x = 180
3) divide both sides by 15 for x
x= 12 degrees
We know that angle 4 is the same as angle 2, which is 12x degrees.
So, now that we know what x is, 12 x 12 degrees = 144 degrees.
Hope this helped : )
