Math Problem Statement

Given various angle measures with parallel lines and transversals, find the unknown angles using angle relationships.

Solution

Let’s go through the problems step by step. I'll provide answers along with explanations based on the properties of parallel lines and angle relationships.


Solutions

5. If the measure of ∠1 = 160°, then the measure of ∠5 = ?

  • Explanation: ∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles because they are on the same side of the transversal and in corresponding positions. Corresponding angles are congruent when the lines are parallel.
  • Answer: ∠5 = 160°.

6. If the measure of ∠6 = 37°, then the measure of ∠4 = ?

  • Explanation: ∠6 and ∠4 are alternate interior angles, which are also congruent when the lines are parallel.
  • Answer: ∠4 = 37°.

7. If the measure of ∠8 = 82°, then the measure of ∠3 = ?

  • Explanation: ∠8 and ∠3 are alternate exterior angles. Since the lines are parallel, alternate exterior angles are congruent.
  • Answer: ∠3 = 82°.

8. If the measure of ∠4 = 60°, then the measure of ∠5 = ?

  • Explanation: ∠4 and ∠5 are consecutive interior angles (same side of the transversal), and their measures add up to 180° because they form a supplementary pair.
  • Calculation: ∠5 = 180° - 60° = 120°.
  • Answer: ∠5 = 120°.

9. Your friend finds the measure of ∠6. Is your friend correct? Explain your reasoning.

  • The figure shows that ∠6 and the 103° angle are alternate exterior angles. Since the lines are parallel, alternate exterior angles are congruent.
  • Conclusion: Your friend is correct; ∠6 = 103°.
