A for #1
C for #2 ! Hope this helped you out!
(a) the given triangle is a isosceles triangle, therefore the two leg sides will be congruent, as well as the two base angles. It is given that one of the base angles ∠XYW is 70°, therefore, due to the law of a isosceles triangle, the measurement of ∠XWY is also 70°. Remember, a triangle's interior angles add up to 180°, so:
180 - (70 + 70) = 180 - 140 = 40
40° is your answer.
m∠X = 40°
(b) All sides are congruent, making it a equilateral triangle. If it is a equilateral triangle, then all the angles also have the same measurement. The total of the interior angle's measurement is 180°. Divide by the amount of angles, 3:
180/3 = 60
60° is your answer.
m∠V = 60°

Answer:
5.9x + 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
5.5 + 2.1x + 3.8x - 4.1
= 5.9x + 1.4
Angle 1 is congruent to angles 3, 5, and/or 7
Angle 2 is congruent to angles 4, 6, and/or 8
Angle 5 is congruent to angles 7, 3 and/or 1
Angle 6 is congruent to angles 8, 4, and/or 2
Any of these answers could work for the blanks.
Angles 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 5 and 7, and angles 6 and 8 are congruent because they are vertical angles. They have the same vertex. Not all of these are congruent to each other if this doesn’t make sense. It’s only 1 is congruent to 3, 2 congruent to 4, etc.
Then you have your corresponding angles. These are ones like angles 2 and 6, then 1 and 5. You can also have 8 and 4, or 7 and 3 as corresponding angles
Transversal angles are different. This would be like angles 3 and 4, or 1 and 2. They are not always congruent. The only time they will be congruent is if they are both 90°. Transversal angles are essentially supplementary angles on the transversal line (the line that intersects through the set of parallel lines)
