Solve for angle D using all three of the definitions of vertical, supplementary, and corresponding angles. Explain your reasoning.
where is angle D?
a is 60 because of corresponding angles
the rest is easy do you recall how many degrees is on a line?
180, right
yes now can you find d?
would d also be 60 degrees since it is just a mirror image of a?
no the line consists of d, 45 degrees and a all of these make up a straight line which means they add up to 180 degrees a is a corresponding angle and is 60
|dw:1406038793853:dw|
a and d are not vertical angles
d would be 75
|dw:1406038824576:dw| notice 2 angles that add up to 180 are called linear pairs since they are a pair of angles on a line
ye d is 75
Thank you so much!
|dw:1406038888553:dw|look for the letter F when looking for corresponding angles
sorry I meant yes d is 75 earlier
|dw:1406038939476:dw|F can appear in these fashions as well they are called corresponding angles
