Which statement best completes the sentence below? If the measure of /_4 is 70^o, then the measure of /_8 is _________________.
A 110^o because /_4 and /_8 are supplementary angles. B 70^o because /_4 and /_8 are alternate exterior angles. C 110^o because /_4 and /_8 are corresponding angles. D 70^o because /_4 and /_8 are corresponding angles.
1 answer:
Answer:
As given, measure of angle 4 is 70°
Then what would be the measure of ∠8.
Following cases comes into consideration
1. If ∠4 and ∠8 are supplementary angles i.e lie on same side of Transversal, then
∠4 + ∠8=180°
⇒70°+∠8=180° [∠4=70°]
⇒∠8=180°-70°
⇒∠8=110°
<u>2nd possibility</u>
But if these two angles i.e ∠4 and ∠8 forms a linear pair.Then
⇒ ∠4 + ∠8=180°
⇒70°+∠8=180° [∠4=70°]
⇒∠8=180°-70°
⇒∠8=110°
<u>3rd possibility</u>
If ∠4 and ∠8 are alternate exterior angles.
then, ∠4 = ∠8=70°
<u>4th possibility</u>
If If ∠4 and ∠8 are corresponding angles.
then, ∠4 = ∠8=70°
Out of four options given Option A[ 110° because ∠4 and ∠8 are supplementary angles], Option B[70° because ∠4 and ∠8 are alternate exterior angles.] and Option D[70° because ∠4 and ∠8 are corresponding angles.] are Correct.
