Question 1109879: Mark is building a glass table for her living room. She cuts one of the legs that connect to the glass tabletop at an angle of 52 degrees. At what angle would she need to cut the bottom of the leg so that the tabletop sits parallel to the floor.
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
both ends of the leg would need to be cut at the same angle.

52 degrees for the end that connects to the table and 52 degrees for the end that connects to the floor.

that's because alternate interior angles of parallel lines are congruent.

depending on where you're measuring from, you can also say that both legs need to be cut at a 128 degree angle, since 128 and 52 are supplementary angles.

here's my diagram.
