Question

Andria wrote the following statements: Statement 1: If parallel lines have a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent. Statement 2: A line has an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions. Which geometry term does each statement represent? (4 points) Statement 1: definition; Statement 2: theorem Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: definition Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: theorem Statement 1: theorem; Statement 2: postulate

Answer 1

Answer:statement 1 and statement 2 postulate

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: definition

Explanation:

• A postulate is assumed to be a fact and used to derive conclusions about any argument .
• A definition is a brief explanatory statement of a term.
• A theorem is a statement that can be proved to be true by using given, definitions, postulates or prior proved theorems .

Here, Statement 1:If parallel lines have a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.

which is a fact, and hence it is postulate.

Statement 2: A line has an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions.

which is an explanatory statement of a 'line', hence it is 'definition.

So the correct option is Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: definition
