Guys pls help me in this coz im very confused in this
NARA [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Copy the diagram using ruler for parallel lines * ensure they (the parallel lines) each have the same distance each point to one another before drawing or adding the transversal line L(3)

The transversal doesn't have to be exact to the diagram but the parallel lines do have to be correct to prove that angle 1 + 5 are identical and fit into each other.

2. They only become corresponding because of being on transversal to add to 180 degree. As you will see when you draw angle 1 on colored paper near the first blue/green circle and match with 5 below in the second blue/green circle.

3. The reason they want tracing paper afterwards of the same shape is so you can use alternatively to cover angle 5 in your book.  

You will see they do cover each other.

Additional

''When two lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. ''

Should you enter search for the above statement it will show you an interactive tool you can use for regarding maths transversal.

Here you can compare parallel lines like l(1) and l(2) as even if they were not parallel they would still be corresponding angles. As you will see.

Solve (x-3)^2 =5 completing the square
otez555 [7]

Answer:

x = 3 ± √5

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (x - 3)² = 5 doesn't need completing the square to solve (this is the step after you finish completing the square):

Step 1: Square root both sides

x - 3 = ±√5

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides

x = 3 ± √5 = 0.76392, 5.23607
