idk if I was supposed to open it in here mb
yea mb
may we know what confuses you about this?
which angles would be supplementary
do you know what supplementary angles are?
yes 2 angles that add up to 180
do you know of any condition that forces two angles to be supplementary?
sure.
I recommend putting a comma in between the two pairs for your next steps.
but yes, the listed pairs of angles are complementary (assuming 1 and 2, then 3 and 4).
what do you mean by command?
would angles 5 and 6 be supplementary
my defintion for supplementarty is 2 angles that add up to 180 degrees
they indeed are, yes.
there are 3 more pairs of supplementary angles. you just need to find another one.
8 and 7?
yes, that's another such pair.
8 and 5 , 7 and 6?
those two would also qualify.
but you only needed two pairs, so any two of the four would do.
there supplementary because there on a straight line right?
and the total angle on one side of a straight line should be?
uh i do not know
.pin
well, you said that the angles on a straight line are supplementary. the angles on the same side of a straight line is really what is being meant here.
given that we are talking about the angles on the same side of a straight line, and that they must be supplementary, they must thus add up to...?
exactly so.
that's why angles on one side of a straight line are always supplementary.
this is also why I said that there is a condition that forces some of the angles in the picture to be supplementary; this is the condition I meant.
oh okay thanks
is there anything else you would like to ask or confirm?
yea 1 sec im tryna do 29 and 30
alright.
would angle 8 and 7 be a linear pair?
that's one linear pair, yes (not plural, singular).
okay my defifntion for linear pair is 2 adjacent angles whose non-common side form a straight line or opposite rays there are alwasy supplementary
quite formal of a statement, but works. basically, they are two angles lying on the same side of a straight line.
for 8 and 7?
yea
if 8 and 7, blue is the common side. the brown/red line is the other side.
I assume by common, it means that the line is one of the two line segments forming that angle.
the two red lines here.
yea
because if we put some letters, like so...
angle 8 becomes angle AOC, and angle 7 becomes angle AOB.
but line segment AO is shared by both angles - hence common.
oh
angle 7 takes segment OB though, which is not the same segment as OC (angle 8).
so also therfore angle 5 and 6 would also be a linear pair?
yes.
ok so 29. angle 5 and 6, angle 8 and 7
correct.
- angles 8 and 5, angle 7 and 6
yes, those work. you could also consider the corner angles - they seem very lonely up there.
anles 1 and 2 , 3 and 4?
thanks can you check 1 more thing for me?
- linear pair 13. verticle angle congruent 14. linear pair 15. neither 16. Niether 17. Niether 18. Neither 19. Verticle lines
I'm not sure why 13 has the word congruent in it, and why 19 is vertical lines instead of vertical angles.
but otherwise, everything else is correct.
my bad for 19 I meant angles
uhh for my definition for verticle angles it says its alwasy the same length so congruent
thats not a rule in geometry?
vertical lines?
mb
and you probably should not use the word "length" to describe angles.
we can talk about their sizes, but not their lengths.
as to the point, yes, they are, but the question never asked you to specify their congruence (and you did not do it for 19 anyway).
yes.
but now that I got your attention can you give me a sec to finish this other section and you grade it real quick?
I can't grade your work, but I can look through it, sure.
yea thats what I meant
31.linear pair 32.neither 33.verticle angle. 34. linear pair 35. verticle angles. 36. linear pair 37.linear pair 38. neither
33 and 34 are both incorrect, everything else is fine.
by the way, it's vertical, not verticle.
33 being neither is correct.
for 34, you're saying angles 4 and 5 form a linear pair. can you draw the straight line that they form?
my bad I know where I went wrong
this is extra credit is it worth giving it a shot?
do you want to give it a shot?
ive never been taught this
even if I say it's worth it, if you do not wish to or find it too difficult, then it's not going work.
this requires you to do some algebra on top of the geometry facts you've learnt.
but as the instruction states, drawing a picture of each situation will help you here.
at the very least, you can visualize the idea.
what does it mean by draw a picture?
literally what it says - draw a picture/diagram of the question.
