Problem

Lines mm and nn are cut by a transversal tt at points AA and BB respectively. At AA, the angle on the right of tt and between the two lines (interior region) measures 120∘120^{\circ}. At BB, the angle on the right of tt and between the two lines is denoted by x∘x^{\circ}. a. (i) Name the special pair of angles formed at AA and BB with respect to the transversal. b. (ii) If m∥nm \parallel n, calculate the value of xx and write the reason for each step of your calculation. c. (iii) Conversely, if x=60∘x=60^{\circ}, explain whether this information alone is sufficient to conclude that m∥nm \parallel n. State the theorem you use in your explanation.
