A simple laptop table looks as shown. The top of the table and the floor of the table are parallel with a slanted leg connecting the two surfaces.

What statement is true about the angles m and n?

m = n

m = 90˚- n

m = 180˚ - n

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Any line that cuts through both these two parallel lines is known as a transversal line

Let's draw in a transversal line

dariyana · Answer

they are 90 degress rite

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

no, they don't have to be 90 degrees

dariyana · Answer

well then the are equal i know tht

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes, the two alternate interior angles are equal or congruent

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

now compare my drawing with the drawing of the laptop table

dariyana · Answer

so is it m=n

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes, m = n tells us that those two alternate interior angles are equal or congruent
