Question
- name all the alternate exterior angles:
- name all the linear pairs:
- which of the above types of angles are cong
- which of the above type of angles are suppl
- complete the following proof:
give: a || b
prove: m∠1 + m∠8 = 180°
- complete the following proof:
give: a || b
prove: m∠3 ≅ m∠6
Step1: Analyze the given (Question 10)
We know \( a \parallel b \), and we need to prove \( m\angle1 + m\angle8 = 180^\circ \). First, recall the properties of parallel lines and transversals. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, consecutive interior angles are supplementary, and also, vertical angles, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles have specific relationships. Also, linear pairs are supplementary.
Step2: Identify angle relationships
- \( \angle1 \) and \( \angle2 \) form a linear pair, so \( m\angle1 + m\angle2 = 180^\circ \) (linear pair postulate).
- Since \( a \parallel b \), \( \angle2 \) and \( \angle8 \) are alternate interior angles. By the alternate interior angles theorem, \( m\angle2 = m\angle8 \).
- Substitute \( m\angle2 \) with \( m\angle8 \) in the equation \( m\angle1 + m\angle2 = 180^\circ \). We get \( m\angle1 + m\angle8 = 180^\circ \), which is what we needed to prove.
(For Question 11, similar approach: Given \( a \parallel b \), prove \( m\angle3 \cong m\angle6 \))
Step1: Analyze the given (Question 11)
We know \( a \parallel b \), need to prove \( m\angle3 \cong m\angle6 \). Recall alternate interior angles theorem.
Step2: Identify angle relationships
When two parallel lines \( a \) and \( b \) are cut by a transversal, \( \angle3 \) and \( \angle6 \) are alternate interior angles. By the alternate interior angles theorem, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent. So \( m\angle3 \cong m\angle6 \).
