Help?

yes?

opposite angles exterior

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry opposite angles interior

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it is that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alternat interior angles is the answer

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The angles are on different sides of the transversal, or alternate sides of the transversal, so they are "alternate" angles. Also, they are "inside" the two lines, so they are "interior" angles. Put both of those together and you get: alternate interior angles

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Great, Thanks! what about this one?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look at the two lines and the transversal. Corresponding angles have these two conditions: 1 They are both on the same side of the transversal, and 2. They are both above or both below the two lines.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

So they are corresponding angles?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For example, let's figure out which angle is corresponding to angle 4. Look at angle 4. For an angle to be corresponding to angle 4, it must be on the same side of the transversal as angle 4. That leaves only angles 2, 6, and 8.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

so 8?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now look at the position of angle 4 on the two lines. Angle 4 is below the line, so its corresponding angle must also be below the line. There is only one such angle, angle 8. Angle 4 and 8 are corresponding angles.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Angles 4 and 8 are corresponding, but that was just an example to explain corresponding angles. Now look at each choice and pick the pair of corresponding angle you are asked to identify..

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

1 and 5?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Every choice starts with angle 1. Which angle is angle 1 corresponding to?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Angles 1 and 5 are both left of the transversal and both above the two lines. Angles 1 and 5 are corresponding angles.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

What about this one?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

would it be 65?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Okay, what about this one? Would it be 55?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes. Angles 1 and 4 are vertical angles, so their measures are equal. Angles 4 and 12 are corresponding, so their measures are equal. m<12 = 55 deg.
