I think i have the answer just need a double cheeck :) Which classification describes ACD and DCB? (Points : 3) complementary angles vertical angles linear pair right angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is trhat they are complmentary

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Complimentary angles sum to 90º.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18+72= 90 doesnt it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But yet the dcb doesnt make a full angle

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

DCF is 72 DCB is 72 + 54 + 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 162

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would it be!

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You tell me... Ruled Out -- complementary angles vertical angles linear pair Definitely Not -- right angles Running out of choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry but i cant find the answer that fits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is Ah vertical angles consist of what degree?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Well, Vertical Angles are Congruent. Are these two angles congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its either linear and complimentary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Brain buster!

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Then we had better figure out what a "Linear Pair" is, since we already threw out complementary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is a linear pair

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Are the two angles supplementary (add to 180º)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it klike some where 110 and 720 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok i am comfused

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Ys, you are. Just answer my question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does angle DCB equals to?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Already defined above. No fair asking the same question twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Witch angles your talking about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you talking about this DCF is 72 DCB is 72 + 54 + 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It equals 162

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do i add angle ACD witch equals 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that amkes the equation to 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would be supplementary but i dont have it as a option

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Hold on. Please slow down. Think a little more and type a little less. Take a deep breath. The question to answer is this: Are ACD and DCB Supplementary (add to 180º)? Just answer the question. Don't try to jump ahead. Do NOT look at the answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes they are supplmentary

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Perfect. Next question. Are they also "Adjacent". This means they share one ray.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No they dont

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They dont share the same ray

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait they do?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What is DC? Isn't that part of both ACD and DCB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah its the vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are adjacent

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

That's really enough to answer the question, but just to emphasize the definition, simply look at the two angles. Look particularly at the two rays they do NOT share. Does it appear that these two rays form a straight line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still dont get a corhesive asnwer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i GET THE DEFINITION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Caos*

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Why are you looking at the answers? Just answer the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But i dont know waht option it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because i need the answer to answer the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They do form a straight line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well atleast i guess

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You need to understand the concept more than you need the answer. You need to slow down. You cannot process this information at the speed you want to. Thank you. Supplimentary Adjacent Line Two angles with these properties are a "Linear Pair". That is the answer. Think through it a piece at a time. Don't try to pounce on it!
