Answer:

2. 100° 22. 7

18. 6 23. 9

19. 8 24. 65°

20. 55° 25. AB = (1/2)DF

21. 6 26. AB ║ DF

Explanation:

Please be aware that the triangle measurements shown for problems 18–20 and 22–24 cannot exist. In the first case, the angle is closer to 48.6° (not 35°), and in the second case, the angle is closer to 51.1°, not 25°. So, you have to take the numbers at face value and not think too deeply about them. (This state of affairs is all too common in geometry problems these days.)

2. You have done yourself no favors by marking the drawing the way you have. Look again at the given conditions. You will find that x+2x must total a right angle, so x=30°. Angle P is the complement of 40°, so is 50°. Then the sum of x and angle P is 30° +50° = 80°, and the angle of interest is the supplement of that, 100°.

18–20. Perpendicular bisector NO means ∆NOL ≅ ΔNOM. Corresponding parts have the same measures, and angle L is the complement of the marked angle.

__

21. ∆ODA ≅ ∆ODB by hypotenuse-angle congruence (HA), so corresponding parts are the same measure. DB = DA = 6.

__

22–24. ∆VPT ≅ ∆VPR by LL congruence, so corresponding measures are the same. Once again, the angle in question is the complement of the given angle.

25–26. You observe that A is the midpoint of DE, and B is the midpoint of FE, so AB is what is called a "midsegment." The features of a midsegment are that it is ...

  • half the length of the base (DF)
  • parallel to the base
