Question

Susan wrote the following statements:

Statement 1: If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary angles.

Statement 2: If two lines intersect in one point, then exactly one plane contains both lines.

Which geometry term does each statement represent?

Statement 1: theorem; Statement 2: postulate
Statement 1: definition; Statement 2: postulate
Statement 1: theorem; Statement 2: definition.
Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: theorem

Answer 1

Look in the beginning of the postulates and theorems section of your text to find one which goes with Statement 2. These statements vary a bit.

Answer 2

Statement 1 appears to be a definition but look in your book.

Definition: Two angles that are adjacent (share a leg) and supplementary (add up to 180°)

Answer 3

Statement 2 appears to be a theorem here:

Answer 4

ok ay

Answer 5

We need the definition of linear pair out of your book.

Answer 6

but statement 1 a definition thats not right ? what would it be a definiton to not a line

Answer 7

tehy didnt tell me the definiton of linear pair we only did line segment ...

Answer 8

i think its a ...

Answer 9

>>but statement 1 a definition thats not right ? what would it be a definiton to not a line

I do not know. These answers depend upon how your text classifies them.

Look in the glossary of your text. (dictionary of special terms in back of book) and find "linear pair." It is defined somewhere in your text. Keep looking.
