Then X is equal to:

3P + P 180°
⇒ P = 45°

3. In the adjoining figure, AB || CD, t is the traversal, EG and

FG are the bisectors of ∠BEE and ∠DFE respectively, then
∠EGF is equal to :

Through O, draw a line l parallel to both AB and CD. Then

∠1 = 45° (alt. ∠S)
and ∠2 = 30° (alt. ∠S)
∴ ∠BOC = ∠1 + ∠2 = 45° + 30° = 75°
So, X = 360° – ∠BOC = 360° – 75° = 285°
Hence X = 285°.

2) An angle is equal to one-third of its supplement. Its AB || CD and t transversal intersects them at E and F

∴ ∠EGF + 90° = 180°
( 180 - P ) ∴ ∠EGF = 90°.
