One angle of a triangle is 50 degrees greater than the smallest​ angle, and the third angle is 10 degrees less than twice the sm
tia_tia [17]
All 3 angles of a triangle must equal to 180. You can simply set up an equation to solve this and set it equal to 180.

Angle 1 - 50 + x
Angle 2 - x
Angle 3 - 2x -10

50+x+x+2x-10=180
4x+40=180
4x=140
x=35

Angle 1 = 50+35= 85
Angle 2 = 35
Angle 3 = 2(35) - 10 = 60

60+35+85=180

What is 5/8 + (-5/6)
suter [353]
Adding a negative is the same as subtracting, so here we have 5/8-5/6. Let's find our least common denominator to use as our common denominator for both fractions. That would be 24. So, we multiply 5/8 by 3/3 because to get an equivalent fraction, you multiply by a version of 1- then you multiply 5/6 by 4/4. So, you get 15/24-20/24 equals -5/24. Hope this helps!

Two angles which are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines and do not share the same vertex. They
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Interior angles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that angles 3,4,5,6 are between the two parallel lines . These angles are called interior angles.

Angles 3,6 are opposite and do not share the same vertex.

Similarly angles 4 and 5 do not share the same vertex.

They are congruent.

If we look closely we see that angles 3 &4  and angles 5&6 are supplementary angles.

i.e they together make up the 180 degrees on the straight line.

On  the outer sides of the parallel lines angles 1&2 and angles 7 & 8 are exterior angles

which also make supplementary angles on the parallel lines.

From the diagram we see that

∠ 5= ∠7  

and

∠6 = ∠ 8

as the corresponding angles are equal

∠8=∠3

∠7=∠4

As they are opposite angles

Similarly

∠1=∠6

∠2=∠5  ( opposite angles)

From above

∠5=∠7

but ∠7= ∠4

therefore

∠ 5= ∠4-----------------A

Also

∠6 = ∠ 8

but ∠8=∠3

therefore

∠6=∠8----------------------B

From An and B we conclude  interior angles are congruent
