A transversal intersects two lines and forms a pair of same side interior angles that measure 36° and 4 times that measure. Prove that the lines are parallel. Please answer now I need it desperately. thx.

Answer:

The addition of the same side interior angles is equal to 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the addition of the same side interior angles is equal to 180°, then the lines are parallel. One angle measure 36°, the other angle measures 4*36° = 144°. The addition gives 36° + 144° = 180°.

See picture attached; given that m║n then ∠1 ≅ ∠4 and ∠2 ≅ ∠3. Also, ∠1 + ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4 = 180°; combining, we get ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°, where ∠1 and ∠2 are same side interior angles. This conclusion was gotten because we knew that m and n were parallel.
