The correct answer is: Option (D) x = 72°
Explanation:
When two lines are crossed by another line, the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. When the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal.
Here in this case, the two lines are "AB" and "CD", and both are parallel and are crossed by the line; therefore, the corresponding angles will be the same.
Since the first corresponding angle is 72°, the second angle x will be 72° as well. The correct answer is: x = 72° Option (D).
