Answer: im having the same problem
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well.
<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>

Answer: 5/9</h3>
As an approximate decimal, this is 0.5556 which converts to 55.56%
======================================================
Explanation:
Let's say there are 100 households (just for the sake of simplicity). We are told that 90% of them have answering machines. So that means 90 households have answering machines. In addition, 50 households have answering machines and call waiting. Those 50 households are part of the 90 mentioned previously.
We then select a house at random. Someone tells us (or we have some kind of prior knowledge) that whichever house is selected, they have an answering machine. We can ignore the 10 households that don't have an answering machine. Out of those 90 households, 50 have both features. So 50/90 = 5/9 is the probability of getting a household with both features.
The answer would be 1/2 or 50% if we didn't have the prior knowledge of the household having an answering machine. But with this prior knowledge, the conditions change and so does the probability.
----------------
You could also compute 0.50/0.90 to get the same answer.
