Solution

Let's go through the questions one by one.

1. Name the figure below in two different ways.

The figure is a line segment with points HH, AA, and DD on it.

  • The figure can be named as Line segment HA\overline{HA} or AH\overline{AH}.
  • It can also be named as Line segment AD\overline{AD} or DA\overline{DA}.
  • Additionally, it can be referred to as Line segment HD\overline{HD} or DH\overline{DH}.

So the two different ways to name the figure could be:

  1. HA\overline{HA} and AD\overline{AD}
  2. HD\overline{HD} and DA\overline{DA}

2. Name the plane that is highlighted in the diagram below.

The plane highlighted in the diagram is defined by the points PP, OO, NN, and MM.

The plane can be named as Plane PONMPONM.

3. Given mnm \parallel n, find the value of xx.

In the diagram, mm and nn are parallel lines, and there is a transversal that creates an angle of 4444^\circ and an unknown angle xx.

Since the angles are alternate interior angles, they are equal. Therefore: x=44x = 44^\circ

4. Given mnm \parallel n, find the value of xx.

In this problem, the parallel lines mm and nn are cut by a transversal, creating an angle of 115115^\circ and an unknown angle xx.

Again, these are alternate interior angles, so: x=115x = 115^\circ

5. Given mnm \parallel n, find the value of xx.

Here, mm and nn are parallel, and the angles formed are a 1919^\circ angle and xx.

Since xx and the 1919^\circ angle are supplementary (they form a straight line), you can calculate: x=18019=161x = 180^\circ - 19^\circ = 161^\circ

If you need more details or have any questions, feel free to ask!

Here are some additional questions to consider:

  1. What are alternate interior angles, and why are they equal when the lines are parallel?
  2. How do you determine the name of a plane from a given figure?
  3. How would you calculate an angle if it were complementary instead of supplementary?
  4. What are corresponding angles, and how do they relate to parallel lines?
  5. Can a line segment have more than two names? Why or why not?

Tip: When dealing with angles formed by a transversal cutting through parallel lines, remember the different types of angle pairs (corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and consecutive interior) and their properties to solve for unknown angles efficiently.
