AF || EC (given)

Answer 2

what info can you get from that statement

Answer 4

so you're saying angle A and angle E are congruent?

Answer 5

Yes. @jim_thompson5910

Answer 6

that's not true

Answer 7

:/

Answer 8

Wait, it's A= C and E=F , that's what I got now.

Answer 9

better

Answer 10

why does E = F?

Answer 11

-Supplementary.
~I got option D.

Answer 14

well they don't have aright angle ...

Answer 15

a right *

Answer 16

what do you mean?

Answer 17

Never mind, the first one for sure measures to 90 degrees.

Answer 18

By the first one, I mean EC .

Answer 19

Answer 20

Yes, I know- only E and C are the angles there.

Answer 21

Complementary angles.

Answer 29

A = B but they aren't complimentary

Answer 30

complimentary means they add to 90 degrees

Answer 31

I meant alternate interior.. I'm was looking at something else .

Answer 32

complementary*

Answer 33

yep, they are alternate interior angles

Answer 34

I just don't get how to apply that in this problem.. I don't understand what the transversal part is, is it angle "B" ?

Answer 35

Can you walk me through this?

Answer 36

we have this
