- Describe the lines and intersections shown in the diagram. - Which adjacent angles form a straight angle? - What angle relationships occur when a transversal crosses parallel lines? - Begin with the angle you can find directly, and then work one intersection at a time.

1. At the intersection on line \(g\), the three adjacent angles form a straight angle. Therefore, \(60^\circ + \alpha + 45^\circ = 180^\circ\), so \(\alpha = 75^\circ\). 2. The angle adjacent to \(\beta\) is corresponding to the given \(60^\circ\) angle, so it also measures \(60^\circ\). These two angles form a linear pair, so \(\beta = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ\). 3.

1. Assume that \(g \parallel h\). Then the interior angle at \(B\) in \(\triangle BSC\) would be alternate interior to the marked \(35^\circ\) angle, so it would measure \(35^\circ\). 2. The marked right angle at \(S\) is vertical to the angle at \(S\) inside \(\triangle BSC\), so the triangle’s angle at \(S\) measures \(90^\circ\). The angle at \(C\) measures \(58^\circ\). 3. The triangle angle sum would be \(35^\circ + 90^\circ + 58^\circ = 183^\circ\), which is impossible. 4. Therefore, the assumption is false, and \(g\) and \(h\) are not parallel.

No. If \(g \parallel h\), the triangle’s angles would sum to \(35^\circ + 90^\circ + 58^\circ = 183^\circ\), not \(180^\circ\).

- What angle relationships occur when a transversal crosses two parallel lines? - Review corresponding and alternate interior angles. - What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle? - Which shown angle is supplementary to the interior angle at \(B\)?

1. Because \(g \parallel h\), \(\alpha\) is alternate interior to the given \(50^\circ\) angle. Therefore, \(\alpha = 50^\circ\). 2. The \(130^\circ\) angle at \(D\) corresponds to the exterior angle at \(B\). The interior angle of triangle \(ABC\) at \(B\) is supplementary to that angle, so it measures \(180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ\). 3. The interior angles of triangle \(ABC\) total \(180^\circ\). Therefore, \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 50^\circ = 80^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 50^\circ\) and \(\gamma = 80^\circ\)

The angle at \(B\) that is exterior to triangle \(ABP\) corresponds to the given \(125^\circ\) angle at \(D\). The interior angle at \(B\) is its supplement, so it measures \(180^\circ - 125^\circ = 55^\circ\). 3. In triangle \(ABP\), \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 40^\circ - 55^\circ = 85^\circ\).

1. Because \(g \parallel h\), \(\beta\) corresponds to the given \(50^\circ\) angle. Therefore, \(\beta = 50^\circ\). 2. In the large triangle, \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 60^\circ = 70^\circ\). 3. The interior angle at the lower intersection on the right is corresponding to the given \(60^\circ\) angle, so it also measures \(60^\circ\). 4. This \(60^\circ\) angle and \(\gamma\) form a linear pair. Therefore, \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 70^\circ\), \(\beta = 50^\circ\), and \(\gamma = 120^\circ\)

- Start with the large triangle \(ABC\). What is the sum of its interior angles? - Because \(DE \parallel BC\), which corresponding or alternate interior angles can you identify? - How are \(\beta\) and \(\angle ADE\) related along line \(AB\)? - What is the sum of a linear pair?

1. In triangle \(ABC\), \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 60^\circ = 70^\circ\). 2. Because \(DE \parallel BC\), \(\angle ADE\) corresponds to \(\angle ABC\). Therefore, \(\angle ADE = 50^\circ\). 3. Angles \(\beta\) and \(\angle ADE\) form a linear pair along line \(AB\). Thus, \(\beta = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 70^\circ\) and \(\beta = 130^\circ\)

- Which lines are parallel? - What angle relationships occur when a transversal crosses parallel lines? - Can you identify a triangle in the diagram and use its angle sum? - Which angles form linear pairs? - Begin with the angles directly related to the given measures.

1. The angle corresponding to the given \(70^\circ\) angle is supplementary to \(\beta\). Therefore, \(\beta = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ\). 2. The two transversals and line \(g\) form a triangle with base angles \(70^\circ\) and \(60^\circ\). Thus, \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 70^\circ - 60^\circ = 50^\circ\). 3. The angle corresponding to the given \(60^\circ\) angle is supplementary to \(\gamma\). Therefore, \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 50^\circ\), \(\beta = 110^\circ\), and \(\gamma = 120^\circ\)

- What angle relationships occur when a transversal crosses parallel lines? - Think about alternate interior and corresponding angles. - What is true about vertical angles? - Use the triangle angle sum in one of the triangles.

1. Because \(g \parallel h\), \(\gamma\) is alternate interior to the given \(45^\circ\) angle. Therefore, \(\gamma = 45^\circ\). 2. In triangle \(SBD\), the angles at \(B\) and \(D\) measure \(30^\circ\) and \(45^\circ\). Thus, \(\angle BSD = 180^\circ - 30^\circ - 45^\circ = 105^\circ\). 3. Angle \(\beta\) is vertical to \(\angle BSD\), so \(\beta = 105^\circ\).

\(\beta = 105^\circ\) and \(\gamma = 45^\circ\)

- Focus first on transversal \(t\), which crosses the parallel lines at \(R\) and \(D\). - What is the relationship between the \(135^\circ\) angle at \(D\) and \(\alpha\)? - After finding \(\alpha\), use the triangle angle sum in triangle \(PQR\).

1. Along transversal \(t\), the \(135^\circ\) angle at \(D\) and \(\alpha\) are same-side interior angles between parallel lines \(a\) and \(b\). 2. Same-side interior angles are supplementary, so \(\alpha=180^\circ-135^\circ=45^\circ\). 3. In triangle \(PQR\), the interior angles are \(40^\circ\), \(45^\circ\), and \(\beta\). Thus, \(\beta=180^\circ-40^\circ-45^\circ=95^\circ\).

\(\alpha=45^\circ\) and \(\beta=95^\circ\)

- Use the triangle angle sum. - How are an interior angle and its adjacent exterior angle related? - Look for corresponding angles formed by the parallel lines.

1. The two transversals and line \(g\) form a triangle. Its two base angles are \(65^\circ\) and \(40^\circ\), so its interior angle at their intersection is \(180^\circ-65^\circ-40^\circ=75^\circ\). 2. The marked angle \(\beta\) is vertical to that \(75^\circ\) triangle angle, so \(\beta=75^\circ\). 3. Angles \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) form a linear pair, so \(\alpha=180^\circ-75^\circ=105^\circ\). 4. At the lower intersection with transversal \(t\), the angle adjacent to the given \(40^\circ\) angle measures \(140^\circ\). That angle corresponds to \(\gamma\) because \(g\parallel h\). Therefore, \(\gamma=140^\circ\).

\(\alpha=105^\circ\), \(\beta=75^\circ\), and \(\gamma=140^\circ\)

- Start with the linear pair containing the marked \(135^\circ\) angle. - Use the parallel lines to transfer the acute angle made by line \(s\). - Then use the right-angle mark where the two diagonal lines meet.

1. The angle that forms a linear pair with the marked \(135^\circ\) angle measures \(180^\circ-135^\circ=45^\circ\). 2. Because \(a\parallel b\), line \(s\) forms the same \(45^\circ\) acute angle with line \(b\). 3. The right-angle mark shows that \(s\perp t\). Therefore, line \(t\) also forms a \(45^\circ\) acute angle with line \(b\). 4. Angle \(\alpha\) is supplementary to that acute angle, so \(m\angle\alpha=180^\circ-45^\circ=135^\circ\).

\(m\angle\alpha=135^\circ\)

- Use the parallel lines to compare each \(\alpha\)-angle with the matching \(\beta\)-angle. - Identify the three marked angles that form one triangle. - Use the triangle angle sum before testing the statement that adds the two \(\alpha\)-angles.

1. Statement a) is true because \(\alpha_1\) and \(\beta_1\) are alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines. 2. Statement b) is true because \(\alpha_2\) and \(\beta_2\) are alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines. 3. The marked angles \(\alpha_1\), \(\alpha_2\), and \(\gamma\) are the interior angles of the triangle above line \(g\). Thus \(60^\circ+40^\circ+\gamma=180^\circ\), so \(\gamma=80^\circ\). Therefore statement d) is true. 4. But \(\alpha_1+\alpha_2=60^\circ+40^\circ=100^\circ\), not \(80^\circ\). Therefore statement c) is false.

c) \(\gamma=\alpha_1+\alpha_2\) is false.

- In each panel, compare the marked angles formed by transversal \(AB\) with lines \(AD\) and \(BC\). - Decide whether the converse of the corresponding angles theorem applies. - Then combine that conclusion with the given \(AB\parallel CD\).

1. In a), the interior angle at \(A\) and the exterior angle at \(B\) are corresponding angles formed by transversal \(AB\) with lines \(AD\) and \(BC\). Both measure \(105^\circ\). By the converse of the corresponding angles theorem, \(AD\parallel BC\). 2. Because \(AB\parallel CD\) is given, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Therefore, the quadrilateral in a) is a parallelogram. 3. In b), the corresponding angles measure \(105^\circ\) and \(100^\circ\). Since they are not congruent, \(AD\) and \(BC\) are not parallel. 4. Therefore, the quadrilateral in b) is not a parallelogram, even though \(AB\parallel CD\).

a) \(AD\parallel BC\), so the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. b) \(AD\not\parallel BC\), so the quadrilateral is not a parallelogram.

- A linear pair has a sum of \(180^\circ\). - Use corresponding angles formed by the parallel lines.

1. Angle \(\alpha\) and the given \(115^\circ\) angle form a linear pair, so \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 115^\circ = 65^\circ\). 2. Because \(p \parallel q\), \(\gamma\) corresponds to the given \(48^\circ\) angle, so \(\gamma = 48^\circ\). 3. The two transversals and line \(p\) form a triangle. Therefore, \(\beta = 180^\circ - 65^\circ - 48^\circ = 67^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 65^\circ\), \(\beta = 67^\circ\), and \(\gamma = 48^\circ\)

- Use the right-angle mark and the other marked angle at the intersection on \(h\) to find the remaining angle along the straight line. - Compare that result with \(\alpha\). - Decide which converse angle theorem applies to the resulting pair.

1. The right-angle mark shows that the two diagonal lines are perpendicular, so the angle between them is \(90^\circ\). 2. Along the same side of line \(h\), the three adjacent angles form a straight angle. Therefore, the angle between transversal \(s\) and \(h\) is \(180^\circ-90^\circ-56^\circ=34^\circ\). 3. This angle and \(\alpha=34^\circ\) are alternate interior angles. By the converse of the alternate interior angles theorem, \(g\parallel h\).

Yes. The alternate interior angles both measure \(34^\circ\), so \(g\parallel h\).

- Which triangle sides act as transversals of the two parallel lines? - Which triangle angles match the two given angles by alternate interior angle relationships? - After finding two triangle angles, what total should all three interior angles have?

1. Because \(g \parallel h\), alternate interior angles are congruent. Therefore, \(\angle A = 50^\circ\) and \(\angle B = 60^\circ\). 2. Use the triangle angle sum: \(\angle C = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 60^\circ = 70^\circ\).

\(\angle A = 50^\circ\), \(\angle B = 60^\circ\), and \(\angle C = 70^\circ\)

- Which opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel? - Use diagonal \(AC\) as a transversal to identify alternate interior angles. - Then use the triangle angle sum in triangle \(ABC\).

1. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel, alternate interior angles give \(\angle ACB = \angle CAD = 40^\circ\) and \(\angle ACD = \angle BAC = 25^\circ\). 2. In triangle \(ABC\), \(\beta = 180^\circ - 25^\circ - 40^\circ = 115^\circ\).

a) \(\angle ACB = 40^\circ\) and \(\angle ACD = 25^\circ\) b) \(\beta = 115^\circ\)

- Consider a line through the vertex of \(\alpha\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). - How does that line split \(\alpha\) into two smaller angles? - Which alternate interior angle relationships can you use?

1. Consider an auxiliary line through the vertex of \(\alpha\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). 2. This line divides \(\alpha\) into two angles, so \(\alpha = \alpha_1 + \alpha_2\). 3. By alternate interior angle relationships, \(\alpha_1 = 35^\circ\) and \(\alpha_2 = 40^\circ\). 4. Therefore, \(\alpha = 35^\circ + 40^\circ = 75^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 75^\circ\)

- Consider an auxiliary line through vertex \(V\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). - Which corresponding, alternate interior, or supplementary angle relationships can you use? - How does the auxiliary line divide the unknown angle into two smaller angles?

1. Consider an auxiliary line through vertex \(V\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). This divides \(\gamma\) into two smaller angles. 2. The lower part is alternate interior to the given \(50^\circ\) angle, so it measures \(50^\circ\). 3. The supplement of the given \(120^\circ\) angle is \(60^\circ\). The upper part is alternate interior to this \(60^\circ\) angle. 4. Therefore, \(\gamma = 50^\circ + 60^\circ = 110^\circ\).

\(\gamma = 110^\circ\)
