Question

Matt is working on the blueprint for the new patio, as shown below. He measures angle 2 and finds it is 63 degrees while the measure of angle 6 is 65 degrees. How could he adjust the strings so that they are parallel?

a

Adjust the string line along the walkway and ensure angle 6 measures 117 degrees.

b

Matt does not need to adjust his strings since he identified corresponding angles are present.

c

Adjust the string line along the walkway and ensure angle 6 measures 63 degrees.

d

Adjust the string line along the walkway and ensure angle 6 measures 65.5 degrees

Answer 1

c ) Adjust the string line along the walkway and ensure angle 6 measures 63 degrees.

Explanation:

The images are missing, so I looked fro similar questions and found the attached image. Since angle 6 is not congruent with angle 2, the lines will not be parallel. Matt needs to adjust the string line along the walkway so that angle 2 measures 63°. That way, both string lines will be parallel.
