Question

Which angle has the greater measure?

Answer 1

Is there any more given information?

Answer 2

no that it

Answer 3

In general, geometry figures are not drawn to scale. It's not possible to determine measures of angles just from looking at a figure.

Answer 4

Is there a reference point? We looking at this in the x and y plane?

Answer 5

no that it

Answer 6

On the other hand, there is this theorem:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.

Answer 7

with out more information it is too difficult to tell, but for sure we know that angles B and C will always be greater than the angles adjacent to them, A and D. otherwise the shape would no longer be a triangle

B and C, final answer

Answer 8

ok thanks

Answer 9

oh haha I said those angles backwards.
A and D are certainly larger than B and C. my bad ^_^

Answer 10

From that theorem we can tell that:
m<A > m<C
m<A > m<E
m<D > m<B
m<D > m<E
m<F > m<C
m<F > m<B

Answer 11

the answers
<a
<e
<c
The angles are congruent

Answer 12

With these choices, look at my list of inequalities above.

Answer 13

I would say a

Answer 14

if those are the choices then A would be my pick,
do you see why tho?

Answer 15

yes because it adjacent

Answer 16

<A is an exterior angle. Angles C and E are its remote interior angles.
Since m<A = m<C + m<E, that means that
m<A > m<C and m<A > m<E.
The correct answer is choice A, <A

Answer 17

I would say angle a because angle a is obtuse and angle c and e are acute

Answer 18

@kelliegirl33 You can't conclude that from a drawing in a geometry problem.

Answer 19

my bad...thats just what it looked like to me from the drawing

Answer 20

Yes, you are correct that the drawing looks like it, but in general, drawings in geometry problems are not drawn to scale. You can only draw conclusions from stated given information, definitions, postulates, and theorems.

Answer 21

got it...thanks for straightening me out :)

Answer 22

You're welcome.
