Math help

Answer 1

Well have you got any idea why or how?

Answer 2

Not a clue

Answer 3

Have you learned about alternate interior angles?

Answer 4

Kinda sorta dude said they were like parallel lines that are opposite of each other

Answer 5

so their rule is that the angles opposite of each other inside parallel lines are equal, so for example if one of the green is said to be 70 degrees, the other green one is 70

Answer 6

And in you're problem they want you to tell why D = 120 degrees, so do you kind of get the idea?

Answer 7

Oh ok so I would say because its opposite angle is equal to it because of its Alternate Interior lines or something like that correct?

Answer 8

D is 120 degrees because it's an alternate interior angle to 120 degrees
something like that ^

Answer 9

and they want you to add congruent so let's try to fit that in

Answer 10

You could say D is 120 degrees because alternate interior angles are congruent

Answer 11

Okay

Answer 12

How about the next one? Any idea?

Answer 13

Should we first have to know if its obtuse or acute or something?

Answer 14

Well not really but I guess you can see that it's smaller than <D so it's definitely below 120 degrees

Answer 15

It's also smaller then 90 degrees

Answer 16

correct

Answer 17

do you know what the degree of a line is?

Answer 18

oh Yeah it could be 180 right? When I look at it I stop it right by the first other line by F...

Answer 19

You're correct about it being 180

Answer 20

uwu awesome

Answer 21

so i marked all the places where it's 180 degrees

Answer 22

it seems a lot but they're all irrelevant except one

Answer 23

this is the one we're looking at rn. and as we established a few moments ago, a line = 180 degrees

Answer 24

are you following so far?

Answer 25

Yeah. Those other are irrelevant because we are only focusing on figuring out the angle of E

Answer 26

yes good

Answer 27

so there's our angles

Answer 28

okay F not included

Answer 29

no if we included F it would be more than 180 cause 180 is just above the line

Answer 30

So <D = 120 and <D + <E = 180

120 + <E = 180

Whats <E?

Answer 31

E is less then 90 right?

Answer 32

Yeah, we're looking for the exact number

Answer 33

120 + <E = 180
<E = 180 - 120 = ?

Answer 34

Couldn't we subtract 180 from 120? That's how I used to do a lot of my problems

Answer 35

Correct

Answer 36

well 120 from 180

Answer 37

Well yeah XD Order counts

Answer 38

60 degrees

Answer 39

@Mehek

Answer 40

Correct

Answer 41

So E = 60 degrees

Answer 42

Okay ho would we put that into a sentence as it asks tho? Or like is says "What is the measure of angle E and why (use vocab terms as proof) The vocab terms are congruent, Alternate interior and alternate exterior
