In a swimming pool, two lanes are represented by lines l and m. If a string of flags strung across the lanes is represented by transversal t, and x = 10, show that the lanes are parallel.

The angles are alternate interior angles and are congruent. Therefore, the two lanes are parallel, as obtined from the alternate interior angles theorem.

Note: The diagram of the two lanes are found in the attachment below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Stating the theorem

The alternate interior angle theorem states that, If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Step 2: Solving for size of angles

The two angles are alternate interior angles.

x = 10

Angle at L = (3x + 4)°

= 3 × 10 + 4 = 34°

Angle at M = (4x - 6)°

4 × 10 - 6 = 34°

The two angles are congruent

Since the two interior alternate angles are congruent, therefore, the two lanes must be parallel.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
