Worked Example 3: Co-interior Angles
Angle a = 72°. Find the co-interior angle b.
Step 1 Recall the rule for co-interior angles
Co-interior angles make a C-shape
Co-interior angles add up to 180°
Step 2 Calculate b
a + b = 180°
72° + b = 180°
b = 180° − 72° = 108°
Reason: Co-interior angles on parallel lines
