Verified Answer :

100 degrees is the value of 
"X" 

Answer:

The value of x is 100°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that lines m and n are parallel to each other. Lines p and q are also parallel to each other.

It a transversal line intersect two parallel line, then the corresponding angles are same. The angle with measure 100° and angle 2 are corresponding angles.

\(\angle 2=100^{\circ}\)                (Corresponding angles)

It a transversal line intersect two parallel line, then the opposite exterior angles are same. The angle 3 and angle 2 are opposite exterior angles.

\(\angle 3=\angle 2\)              (Opposite exterior angles)

\(x=100^{\circ}\)

Therefore the value of x is 100°.
