Which of the following statements are true about the following diagram? Choose all that apply. Responses: 1. x∘=w∘ because they are alternate interior angles. 2. v∘=y∘ because they are alternate interior angles. 3. v∘+y∘=180∘ because they are supplementary angles. 4. x∘+y∘=180∘ because they are corresponding angles. 5. v∘=w∘ because they are corresponding angles. 6. x∘+y∘=180∘ because they are supplementary angles.

Solution

Let's analyze the given diagram and verify the statements based on the angle relationships.

  1. x=wx^\circ = w^\circ because they are alternate interior angles.

    • True. xx^\circ and ww^\circ are alternate interior angles as they lie between two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal.
  2. v=yv^\circ = y^\circ because they are alternate interior angles.

    • True. vv^\circ and yy^\circ are also alternate interior angles as they lie between two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal.
  3. v+y=180v^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ because they are supplementary angles.

    • False. vv^\circ and yy^\circ are not on the same straight line; they are alternate interior angles, not supplementary angles.
  4. x+y=180x^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ because they are corresponding angles.

    • False. xx^\circ and yy^\circ are not corresponding angles. Corresponding angles lie on the same side of the transversal, but xx^\circ and yy^\circ are not positioned in such a way.
  5. v=wv^\circ = w^\circ because they are corresponding angles.

    • True. vv^\circ and ww^\circ are corresponding angles since they lie on the same side of the transversal and in matching positions.
  6. x+y=180x^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ because they are supplementary angles.

    • True. xx^\circ and yy^\circ are supplementary angles because they are on the same straight line formed by the transversal cutting through the parallel lines.

True Statements:

  • x=wx^\circ = w^\circ because they are alternate interior angles.
  • v=yv^\circ = y^\circ because they are alternate interior angles.
  • v=wv^\circ = w^\circ because they are corresponding angles.
  • x+y=180x^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ because they are supplementary angles.

  2. What is the relationship between alternate exterior angles?
  3. Can vertically opposite angles also be supplementary?
  4. How do we prove that two lines are parallel using angles?
  5. What is the sum of the interior angles in any polygon?

Tip: When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior and corresponding angles are always equal.
