Campers often use a “bear bag” at night to avoid attracting animals to their food supply. In the bear bag system at the right, a camper pulls one end of the rope to raise and lower the food bag. a. Suppose a camper pulls the rope taut between the two parallel trees, as shown. What is m1? b. Are 1 and the given angle alternate interior angles, same-side interior angles, or corresponding angles?

i got for awnser a 117 for b i got same-side interior angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct? @cwrw238

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

where the diagram?

right the measure of angle 1 is 180-63 = 117 degrees

ok i have another question i dont get 1. Look at the diagram. How could you describe the diagonal taut rope and the trees in terms of lines and transversals? 2. What do you know about the special angle pairs formed when parallel lines are intersected by a transversal? 3. What strategy can you use to solve the problem? Planning the Solution 4. What special angle pair do 1 and the given angle make up? How do you know? 5. What do you know about the relationship between these types of angles? Getting an Answer 6. What is an equation you can use to find m1? 7. What is the solution to the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well many

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

same side interior angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean
