I really need help with this portion of my homework. People have given me answers, but NOT for sure if they are right. I will give you a Medal if you help me. The answer & explanation has to be correct and accurate, because my teacher said it has to be. Label your answer and your postulate/theorem, so I know which is which. ***The next section instructions are: Determine whether each statement is true or false. Justify your response with the appropriate postulate or theorem.***

My Answers: 8. True, because the lines aren't parallel 9. False, because the lines aren't parallel 10. True, because of the corresponding angle theorem 11. ? 12. ? 13. False, because the lines aren't parallel. 14. False, because the lines aren't parallel.
8 is true, but that's not the reason why
9 is false, but which two lines aren't parallel? you need to be specific
10 is true and the reason is good
how about 11?
what's #8's reason and #9's specifics
@jim_thompson5910 For 8 I said,: True, because they add up to 180 degrees + because of consecutive interior angle theorem.
#8 would actually be the same side interior angle theorem
#9 would be line m and n
what about them?
they aren't parallel or perpendicular
lines m and n aren't parallel, so that's why
11, I say True
sounds like a guess, why do you say true?
they are alternate interior angles
but you said so yourself that m and n aren't parallel
@jim_thompson5910 Is this #11: True, because lines m and n aren't parallel + because of alternate interior angles
alternate interior angles are only congruent if the lines are parallel
so just lines m and aren't parallel for the reason for #11
so is that it for #11. If so, let's move on to #12
#11 is false for that reason, yes
So #11 is False, because lines m and n aren't parallel
yes
#12: True, because of same side interior angles
#13 & #14 I said False, because m and n aren't parallel
the reason is correct, but because they are same side interior angles does not guarantee congruence
so should I keep the reason or not keep it
I'd keep the reason, just change the statement
like how would I do that
well you would start off saying it's false, then explain that it's false because the fact that they are same side interior angles doesn't guarantee congruence
What' about #13 and #14: I said False, because line m and n aren't paralle
yep, both are false because m and n aren't parallel once they aren't parallel, you can't use any to the parallel theorems you've learned
so is that okay for my reason for 13 and 14
Uh @jim_thompson5910 so are my reason for 13 and 14 passable; anymore information I need to add
hmm nothing that I can think of at the moment
Do you know that lines l and m are parallel? I don't see it as given information anywhere.

Oh, I see, the line at the top.
