Question

Write an equation that relates each of the following. Remember that an equation must have an equal sign in it. 1. a and g 2. d and g 3. f and e

Answer 1

a) a = g

b) d + g = 180

c) f + e = 180

Explanation:

See attached worksheet.

a) a = g Angles opposite two intersect straight lines are equal.

b) d + g = 180 Assuming lines x and y are parallel, the respective angles will be the same between the two intersecting points. Therefore, e = g. Since d + e = 180, we can say that d + g = 180.

c) f + e = 180 Angles on either side of the intersecting line sum to a total of 180.
