idk if I was supposed to open it in here mb

in the future, avoid deleting the first message of your thread

(or help channel)

solemn igloo
#

yea mb

indigo oracle
solemn igloo
#

which angles would be supplementary

indigo oracle
#

do you know what supplementary angles are?

solemn igloo
#

yes 2 angles that add up to 180

indigo oracle
#

do you know of any condition that forces two angles to be supplementary?

solemn igloo
#

No I do not

#

can i give you my answers and you tell me what I did wrong?

indigo oracle
#

sure.

solemn igloo
#
  1. angle 1 and angle 2 angle 3 and angle 4
#

those are pairs of complmentary right?

indigo oracle
#

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).

solemn igloo
#

what do you mean by command?

indigo oracle
#

eh, I don't know why I said command...

#

I meant a comma, sorry.

solemn igloo
#

all good

#
  1. angle 5 and angle 7, also angle 8 and 6
#

thats for verticle angles

indigo oracle
#

that's correct.

#

I also noticed that question 27 is inconspicuously missing... holothink

solemn igloo
#

would angles 5 and 6 be supplementary

#

my defintion for supplementarty is 2 angles that add up to 180 degrees

indigo oracle
#

they indeed are, yes.

#

there are 3 more pairs of supplementary angles. you just need to find another one.

solemn igloo
#

8 and 7?

indigo oracle
#

yes, that's another such pair.

solemn igloo
#

8 and 5 , 7 and 6?

indigo oracle
#

those two would also qualify.

#

but you only needed two pairs, so any two of the four would do.

solemn igloo
#

there supplementary because there on a straight line right?

indigo oracle
#

and the total angle on one side of a straight line should be?

solemn igloo
#

uh i do not know

past gale
vapid hearthBOT
indigo oracle
# solemn igloo uh i do not know

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...?

solemn igloo
#

uh 180?

#

degress?

indigo oracle
#

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.

solemn igloo
#

oh okay thanks

indigo oracle
#

is there anything else you would like to ask or confirm?

solemn igloo
#

yea 1 sec im tryna do 29 and 30

indigo oracle
#

alright.

solemn igloo
#

would angle 8 and 7 be a linear pair?

indigo oracle
#

that's one linear pair, yes (not plural, singular).

solemn igloo
#

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

indigo oracle
#

quite formal of a statement, but works. basically, they are two angles lying on the same side of a straight line.

solemn igloo
#

blue is the non-common side right and red is the side they share right?

indigo oracle
#

for 8 and 7?

solemn igloo
#

yea

indigo oracle
#

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.

solemn igloo
#

yea

#

what would be considered the non-common then?

indigo oracle
#

the two red lines here.

solemn igloo
#

yea

indigo oracle
#

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.

solemn igloo
#

oh

indigo oracle
#

angle 7 takes segment OB though, which is not the same segment as OC (angle 8).

solemn igloo
#

so also therfore angle 5 and 6 would also be a linear pair?

indigo oracle
#

yes.

solemn igloo
#

ok so 29. angle 5 and 6, angle 8 and 7

indigo oracle
#

correct.

solemn igloo
#
  1. angles 8 and 5, angle 7 and 6
indigo oracle
#

yes, those work. you could also consider the corner angles - they seem very lonely up there.

solemn igloo
#

anles 1 and 2 , 3 and 4?

indigo oracle
#

yeah, they are adjacent too.

#

but your answer is correct regardless.

solemn igloo
#

thanks can you check 1 more thing for me?

#
  1. linear pair 13. verticle angle congruent 14. linear pair 15. neither 16. Niether 17. Niether 18. Neither 19. Verticle lines
indigo oracle
#

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.

solemn igloo
#

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?

indigo oracle
#

vertical lines?

solemn igloo
#

mb

indigo oracle
#

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).

solemn igloo
#

yea mb your totaly right

#

so other than that everything is correct?

indigo oracle
#

yes.

solemn igloo
#

but now that I got your attention can you give me a sec to finish this other section and you grade it real quick?

indigo oracle
#

I can't grade your work, but I can look through it, sure.

solemn igloo
#

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

indigo oracle
#

33 and 34 are both incorrect, everything else is fine.
by the way, it's vertical, not verticle.

solemn igloo
#

how is 34 incorrect?

#

and 33 is niether

indigo oracle
#

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?

solemn igloo
#

my bad I know where I went wrong

#

this is extra credit is it worth giving it a shot?

indigo oracle
#

do you want to give it a shot?

solemn igloo
#

ive never been taught this

indigo oracle
#

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.

indigo oracle
#

but as the instruction states, drawing a picture of each situation will help you here.

#

at the very least, you can visualize the idea.

solemn igloo
#

what does it mean by draw a picture?

indigo oracle
#

literally what it says - draw a picture/diagram of the question.

solemn igloo
#

yea it's time for bed😭

#

uhm

#

thank you so much btw

#

I was so confused

indigo oracle
#

no problem, glad to help!

#

anything else? if not, you may mark this as .solved.
