Answer 1

Angle R is a "copy" of the angle at J. By "copy," I mean the construction for copying an angle so that two congruent angles are formed.

So, looking at the diagram of the construction, recall that it is based on the theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the two lines are ? @jhonathanceballos

Answer 2

Im confused. i really dont get this question. But i really need it im so close to graduating

Answer 3

@Directrix

Answer 4

If you look up what the final word is in this theorem, you will know what the relationship is.

Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the two lines are ?

Answer 5

congruent @Directrix

Answer 6

Lines are not congruent.

What term is used to describe two lines in a plane that do NOT intersect?

Answer 7

parallel @Directrix

Answer 8

Yes.
Part A: Write a statement describing the relationship between line M and line L.

Here you write:

The relationship between line M and line L is that they are ___?___.

Answer 9

parallel,Thank you,but what should i write for Part B? @Directrix

Answer 10

Get down the sentence for part a.
Now, part b.

Answer 11

ok,i got it down @Directrix

Answer 12

From above:
--------------------
The construction is done using this postulate.

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.

So, Angle R was constructed to be congruent to the given angle J. That means that two corresponding angles are congruent. The lines M and L have to be parallel by the postulate.

Answer 13

so i should put this? Angle R was constructed to be congruent to the given angle J. That means that two corresponding angles are congruent. The lines M and L have to be parallel by the postulate.

Answer 14

@Directrix

Answer 15

Angle R was constructed to be congruent to the given angle J. That means that two corresponding angles are congruent. The lines M and L have to be parallel by this postulate: If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.

Answer 16

ok,thanks can u help me with another question?

Answer 17

Dear Jhonathan,
Please work on your own. You have to study more to graduate in time. Call me whenever you have questions.
