Question

∠A and ∠B are supplementary, and ∠A and ∠C are supplementary. Which conclusion is valid? Select one: A. ∠B and ∠C are supplementary. B. ∠B and ∠C are acute. C. ∠B and ∠C are complementary. D. ∠B and ∠C are congruent.

Answer 1

Option D is the correct answer.

Answer:

D. ∠B and ∠C are congruent.

Explanation:

Since, ∠A and ∠B are supplementary.

Therefore,

∠A + ∠B = 180°.....(1)

Since, ∠A and ∠C are supplementary.

Therefore,

∠A + ∠C = 180°.....(2)

From equations (1) & (2)

∠A + ∠B = ∠A + ∠C

=> ∠B = ∠C

Hence, ∠B and ∠C are congruent.
