Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Angle A and Angle B are corresponding angles. If Angle A = 138 deg, what is the measure of Angle B?

📘 Worked solution
1Angle A and Angle B are corresponding angles.Two parallel lines cut by a transversal create equal corresponding angles.
2Angle B = Angle A = 138°These angles are always equal when the lines are parallel.
