Given that ∠A≅∠B , Gavin conjectured that ∠A and ∠B are complementary angles. Which statement is a counterexample to Gavin 's conjecture? A. m∠A=25° and m∠B=25° B. m∠A=30° and m∠B=60° C. m∠A=45° and m∠B=45° D. m∠A=10° and m∠B=15°

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

complementary: angles that add up to 90 so see which answer choice does not add up to 90

mikewwe13:

A) m∠A=25° and m∠B=25°

Vocaloid:

good does it let you pick more than 1? because D also works (10+15 =/= 90)

mikewwe13:

OK so the answer is A or D

Vocaloid:

make sure to check the original question, you may have a typo

mikewwe13:

1) ∠A≅∠B, means that the two angles are congruent, this is they have the same measure. 2) Two angles are complementary angles if they sum up 90°.

Vocaloid:

if all the answer choices are as you stated, then just pick A I guess

mikewwe13:

Which answers are examples of inductive reasoning? Select each correct answer. A. John saw wild turkeys in his yard during the past 3 years. He will see wild turkeys in his yard next year. B. All right triangles have a 90° angle. Triangle ABC is a right triangle. Therefore, triangle ABC has a 90° angle. C. Mrs. Smith notices that the first 10 students who enter her class are female. Therefore, she expects that all the students in her class will be female. D. The cinema charges $5 to see a movie. Four friends are going to the cinema to see a movie. Therefore, altogether they will pay $20 to see the movie.

Vocaloid:

any ideas? as a hint inductive reasoning starts with one, specific example, and uses it to make a generalization

mikewwe13:

A and C

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

any ideas? try to notice the pattern. notice how the grey rectangle shifts 1 unit to the left each time, then wraps around and keeps going left

mikewwe13:

B

mikewwe13:

is that correct ?

mikewwe13:

IS IT ?

Vocaloid:

yeah sorry
