Is B the correct answer?

marissalovescats · Answer

Well let's see, did you look up the definitions to these?

marissalovescats · Answer

The definition to B is "If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles formed are congruent, then the lines are parallel."

marissalovescats · Answer

D is: "Converse alternate interior angles theorem states that if two lines and a transversal form alternate interior angles that are congruent, then the two lines are parallel."

marissalovescats · Answer

Well.. C speaks for itself.

anonymous · Answer

I am kind of confused...

anonymous · Answer

do you understand the concept of parallel and perpendicular lines?

anonymous · Answer

perpendicular lines are 2 lines that intersect and each angle produced from the intersection is 90 degrees. think of like a cross or a car intersection, each angles are 90 degrees

nurali · Answer

i think  B. Corresponding Angles Converse Postulate.
