2. If OQ and RT are parallel lines which statement is true?
A) RSP is congruent to RSU
B) RSP is congruent to PST
C) RSP is congruent to TSU
D) RSP is congruent to OPS (my answer)

Answer 1

1. A) OPS is congruent to RSU

2. C) RSP is congruent to TSU

Explanation:

1. Since OQ and RT are parallel lines that are cut across by the transversal line, NU, therefore, angle OPS and angle RSU are corresponding angles formed. Corresponding angles are congruent.

✅Therefore: A) OPS is congruent to RSU. OPTION A IS TRUE.

❌OPS and RSP are consecutive interior angles. They are not congruent. They are supplementary. So, option B is NOT TRUE.

❌OPS and OPN are linear pair angles. Linear pair angles are not congruent. They are supplementary. Therefore, OPTION B IS NOT TRUE.

OPS and TSU are also not congruent.

2. Angle RSP and angle RSU are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore, the statement that IS TRUE is:

C) RSP is congruent to TSU
