Question

please help me again! this is my last answer!

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

Answer 1

Can we not simply deduce that e=120 degrees, since it is a portion of an angle that totals 180 degrees? And we're given that the other portion is 60 degrees.

Answer 2

if i could give bonus medals for use of the word deduce i would ;)

Answer 3

Hah, thanks! But I don't remember much about definitions of angles, so I don't think my answer satisfies using definitions of vertical, supplementary, and corresponding angles.

Answer 4

no, it's the only solution

Answer 5

Okay then. Glad to be of service.

Answer 6

okay so what brenar said is the correct answer?

Answer 7

yep, spot on
if you want to go from there and solve for all the other angles u can

Answer 8

what are vertical, supplementary, and corresponding angles

Answer 9

yes i figured that but what is vertical, supplementary, and corresponding angles?

Answer 10

corresponding angle to e is g
supplementary angle to e is 60 or f, depending on which plane you want to analyse it

Answer 11

i dont know what a vertical angle refers to, sorry, maybe @saifoo.khan will know??

Answer 12

Vertical angles refer to a relationship such as f and 60 deg. We can assume that they are equal.

Answer 13

Because they are vertically opposite.

Answer 14

okay i just want to make sure that " e=120 degrees, since it is a portion of an angle that totals 180 degrees? And we're given that the other portion is 60 degrees." is the answer... correct?

Answer 15

@Brenar isnt that the x rule of corresponding angles...?

Answer 16

Correct. And if you have further questions @yoyogators don't hesitate to open up your own question!

Answer 17

Um... maybe. @Jack1

Answer 18

Like I said, I haven't touched geometry in quite some time.
