Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle) Step 2: m∠p + m∠o = 180 degrees (adjacent supplementary angles) Step 3: Therefore, m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p Step 4: So, m∠m + m∠n = m∠p In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected? Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle) Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 90 degrees (adjacent angles) Step 2; it should be m∠o + m∠p = 180 degrees (alternate exterior angles) Step 2; m∠p − m∠o = 90 degrees (alternate interior angles)
heres the pic
Step 1 is incorrect. Since we are stating `the sum of angles of a triangle` we would include the angles `inside` of the triangle which would be `angle N + angle O + angle M = 180` since the sum of the angles inside a triangle equal 180 degrees.
OMG THANKS SO MUCH I WISH I COULD MEADL BUT IM NEW SORRY
