@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

well as usual let's go through the answer choices one by one - are CD and BA parallel?

mikewwe13:

mikewwe13:

yes

Vocaloid:

good so let's mark the first choice as a possible solution what about AD and AE?

mikewwe13:

no

Vocaloid:

good, let's keep going AD and BC?

mikewwe13:

yes

Vocaloid:

good, one more choice DE + BA?

mikewwe13:

nope

Vocaloid:

good so options 1 and 3 are your solution

Vocaloid:

|dw:1533921438157:dw| any ideas? i've marked all the parallel segments in blue

Vocaloid:

hm? try looking at the diagram i posted, the only possibilities are PB, AM, and YD

mikewwe13:

OH I'M SORRY that's wrong from another question on my quiz

mikewwe13:

YD, PB, and HA

Vocaloid:

it's asking for parallel segments not perpendicular

Vocaloid:

|dw:1533921710519:dw|

mikewwe13:

BM, AM, and HA

Vocaloid:

notice how HA is not included in the segments I circled PB, AM, and YD are the only possibilities

mikewwe13:

PB, AM, and YD are parallel

Vocaloid:

yes

Vocaloid:

well let's take the original statements and see what we can conclude AK is perp. to KB AK is parallel to EF according to our theorem from before, EF must be perpendicular to KB AK is parallel to CB which means AK CB and EF are parallel and they're all perpendicular to KB

Vocaloid:

that being said it says nothing about DJM so we can't conclude that <JFB is 90

Vocaloid:

thoughts on statement 2? are CB and KB perpendicular? try to review what I have said so far

mikewwe13:

KB←→⊥CB←→ m∠JFB=90°

mikewwe13:

I believe those are the answers cause i looked at it and i've seen it could be true

mikewwe13:

though i might be wrong

Vocaloid:

refer back to my statement\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid that being said it says nothing about DJM so we can't conclude that <JFB is 90 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Vocaloid:

so KB being perp to CB is the only solution

mikewwe13:

KB and CB THAT'S IT cause i thought KB//DM was 2

mikewwe13:

cause if you look at it, they are on different lines and they will never touch

Vocaloid:

keep in mind it just "looks" that way but there's no formal proof, it could be like 1 degree off and they wouldn't be parallel

mikewwe13:

ok but do they go sideways for eternity ?

Vocaloid:

yes but that doesn't mean they're parallel if one is drawn at a 180 degree angle but the other is drawn at a 179 degree angle they look parallel to the naked eye but they will eventually intersect.

Vocaloid:

they would need to prove that they are parallel by parallel angle marks or by showing that the corresponding angles are equal

mikewwe13:

so therefore KB to CB is the only solution ?

mikewwe13:

none of the others ?

Vocaloid:

yes

Vocaloid:

wait

Vocaloid:

derp i'm an idiot <JFB is equal to 90 since KB and EF are perpendicular so the first and second choices only

Vocaloid:

was looking a t the other angle

mikewwe13:

so both KB and CB and KB//DM are both or just KB and CB ?

Vocaloid:

<JFB is equal to 90 KB and CB are perpendicular

mikewwe13:

ok just that then final answer?

Vocaloid:

yes

mikewwe13:

Vocaloid:

well let's go one by one we don't know anything about QR so we don't know whether it's parallel or perp. to ST so the first statement is inconclusive

mikewwe13:

first is Cannot Be Determined

mikewwe13:

second is perpendicular correct ?

mikewwe13:

3rd and 4th is cannot be determined

Vocaloid:

good that's what i got too

mikewwe13:

correct thank you Vocaloid for all your help yesterday and today i really appreciate it everytime

Vocaloid:

yeah np

mikewwe13:

you really help me out in situations even though when you don't have much time most of the time
