Math Problem Statement

Which angles are supplementary given parallel lines IK and LN, and transversal HJ?

Solution

The question in the image is asking which angles are supplementary, given that lines IKIK and LNLN are parallel.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180180^\circ.

Let's analyze the angles:

From the diagram:

  • IKLNIK \parallel LN (parallel lines)
  • HJHJ is a transversal crossing both lines IKIK and LNLN.

Using the properties of parallel lines and a transversal, the following pairs of angles are supplementary:

  1. IJH\angle IJH and KJM\angle KJM: These are same-side interior angles, which are supplementary because the transversal HJHJ intersects the parallel lines.

Thus, the correct answer is IJH\angle IJH and KJM\angle KJM. These two angles add up to 180180^\circ because they are on the same side of the transversal.

Here are five relative questions for further understanding:

  1. What are complementary angles, and how do they differ from supplementary angles?
  2. Can you identify vertical angles in the diagram?
  3. What is the relationship between alternate interior angles?
  4. How do you know that IKLNIK \parallel LN?
  5. What is the sum of all interior angles around a point?

Tip: When dealing with parallel lines, remember that same-side interior angles are always supplementary.
