Question

Solve for using all three of the definitions of vertical, supplementary, and corresponding angles. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

you need to better define the question

Answer 2

sorry solve fore angle e

Answer 3

are the 2 lines parallel?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

the e=a=180-55

Answer 6

i got no idea what to call the reasoning in regards to geometric proofs tho

Answer 7

Ok

Answer 8

Can you explain a little more what you meant by " e=a=180-55 "

Answer 9

Lets work backward =) Since you are looking for e, you know that e is equal to a since they are corresponding angles.

You also know that a+b = 180 degrees because they are supplementary angles.

Since b and the 55 degrees are vertical angles, b = 55 degrees.

That means that a = 180 - 55 = 125 degrees.

Since e = a and a = 125, e = 125 degrees!

You just need to know the definition of each of these terms =)
