I am in Geometry and need some help with it, but I have the answers on some, but not for sure if they are right and need someone to check them. Attachments will be posted in the comments. Medal will be rewarded for the help! :D

OpenStudy (firejay5):

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Tell me if I am on the right track and answer MUST be correct and accurate!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea about the first one maybe you need the double arrow

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Are you good at Geometry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you might want to say "line LM is parallel to line PR" for the second one

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Line MQ is perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and the third one looks good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

complimentary means they add up to 90 degrees or make a right angle

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Line LN and PR are parallel to each other and MQ is perpendicular to line LN & PR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Is 1. A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i think it is the oe with the double arrow, but don't take my word for it

OpenStudy (firejay5):

It is, but which one C or D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C doesnt have a double arrow, only D does

OpenStudy (firejay5):

It's either A or D

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

#1 : it is a line, not a ray or segment, so the arrow has to be double-ended. A line is defined by two points.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I got that and put D

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Cause it can't be A because the name won't make sense

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

It can't be A because there exist an infinite # of lines that go through point G

OpenStudy (firejay5):

so was I right with D

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Yes.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

For #2A. I put, "Line LN is Parallel to Line PR. 2B. Line MQ is Perp. with Line LN & PR. Is that right?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Yes.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Is that correct? You're positive

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Would I kid you? I'm a retired math teacher.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Oh well I didn't know

OpenStudy (firejay5):

For 3A. I put measure angle PUQ = 25 degrees. Is that right or is it QUP?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Your answer to # 3 is correct. Yes, I'm sure.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Another person put QUP and not for sure if it matters or not

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Vertical angles are congruent. Thanks for not just asking for the answers. Memorize your theorems.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

So if I would put QUP is that wrong?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

QUP is fine.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Cause it seems both make sense

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Don't over-think it.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@NoelGreco What about 3B & 3C

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Going to dinner.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@kropot72 What's 3B & 3C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do u still need help

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@*STAR* Just to be checked. 3B I have measure angle PUQ & QUR. 3C I put measure PUQ & RUS

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Is it right? @*STAR*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that all that you could figure out yourself

OpenStudy (firejay5):

yes, but I don't know if it's right?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@phi Is this #3B & C right?: 3B I have measure angle PUQ & QUR. 3C I put measure PUQ & RUS

OpenStudy (phi):

complementary angles add up to 90º so < PUQ and < QUR are complementary supplementary add to 180 degrees and PUQ + RUS = 180 Yes, your answers look good

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

<PUQ and <RUS are not supplementary. m<PUQ = 25; m<RUS = 90 m<PUQ + m<RUS = 25 + 90 = 115 <PUQ and <QUS are supplementary. m<PUQ = 25; m<QUS = 65 + 90 = 155 m<PUQ + m<QUS = 25 + 155 = 180

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@phi What would be the correct answer to 3A

OpenStudy (phi):

you did 3a correctly

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

<QUP or <PUQ are both correct answers to 3A because they are both correct ways of naming that angle.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I put QUP is that also correct answer

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Read my comment just above your last comment. Yes, it's correct.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@mathstudent55 Can Q be used more than once

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It can be used to name many angles, lines, segments and rays. Do you have a specific question about Q?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Well I thought you couldn't do that, but I stood correct

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Is 3B. PUQ & QUR

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes. <PUQ and <QUR anr complementary. There is an angle symbol that should be used when you are dealing with angles.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Concerning your question about using Q more than once, I still am not sure what you mean, but as you can see, your answer to 3B does use Q in the names of two different angles, and that answer is correct.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

This is the Answer to 2A & B: Line LN and PR are parallel to each other and MQ is perpendicular to line LN & PR

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I got it right omg I accomplished something

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. OS does work!

OpenStudy (firejay5):

and then 1 I put D.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

is that right too?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. There are two ways of naming a line. 1. One way is simply a small letter that names the entire line. 2. The other way is to use any two points on the line. When you write the name of the line using the second method, you write two capital letters for the names of the two points, and a small line symbol above the two letters. The small line symbol is a little horizontal segment with an arrowhead pointing in each direction.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Line m can be named only one way since we don't have any named points on line m. Line t can be named in 7 different ways since there are three named points on line t. Any of these 7 names is a correct name for line t. |dw:1377219378171:dw|
