Math Problem Statement

Can you solve this question

Solution

To solve this problem, let's analyze the two diagrams provided and determine whether they are possible based on the given lines and angles.

Analysis:

  1. Diagram 1:

    • There are two lines, and they appear to intersect, forming four angles.
    • Angles labeled mm and 9090^\circ are given.
    • The angle adjacent to mm is labeled as mm.
    • The key observation here is that angles around a point should add up to 180180^\circ.
  2. Diagram 2:

    • Again, two lines intersect forming four angles.
    • Here, angles nn and 2n2n are provided.
    • The key observation is that these angles should also add up to 180180^\circ if they are adjacent.

Steps:

  • For Diagram 1:

    • The given angles are mm and 9090^\circ.
    • The adjacent angles must satisfy m+90=180m + 90^\circ = 180^\circ.
    • This implies m=90m = 90^\circ.
  • For Diagram 2:

    • The given angles are nn and 2n2n.
    • The adjacent angles must satisfy n+2n=180n + 2n = 180^\circ.
    • This implies 3n=1803n = 180^\circ, so n=60n = 60^\circ.

Conclusion:

Both diagrams satisfy the conditions necessary for the angles in them to form a valid intersection.

Answer:

  • Correct answer: "Choice 1 and Choice 2."

Relative Questions:

  1. What is the relationship between supplementary angles?
  2. How do you determine the value of unknown angles in a diagram?
  3. What is the sum of the angles around a point in an intersection?
  4. How can you verify if two lines are parallel based on angle measures?
  5. What are vertical angles, and how do they relate to intersecting lines?

Tip:

When dealing with intersecting lines, always remember that the sum of angles around a point is 360360^\circ and the sum of angles on a straight line is 180180^\circ.
