@Dcleve99 Post a question in the box on the left hand corner where it says "write question..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

any thoughts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's A.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B/c Supplementary angles add up to be 180 degrees. For sure I know it's not option "C" , because complem... angles have to equal exactly 90 degrees.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that is true, but look at how you go from the box in the very bottom of column 2 to the box in the very bottom of column 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what changes?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see attached

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh.. yes, it's angle addition postul.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well that's already used for the box on the left I circled

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at what I posted and see what is changing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are doing substituting the "angle EBD" part with 180 degrees?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because EBD = 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So my answer would be B, correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct
