I'll do part (a) to get you started.
The angle 'a' pairs up with the 123 degree angle as a corresponding angle pair. Due to the parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore a = 123.
We also see that b = 123 as well since a = b (they are vertical angles).
Notice how angle c is adjacent to the 123 degree angle. These two angles form a straight line, so they must add to 180 degrees.
c+123 = 180
c = 180-123
c = 57
-------------------------
To summarize, we have these three angles
a = 123
b = 123
c = 57
1 people eat 3/8 pound of potato salad lets reoresent it：
x=3/8
Lets say n is the value of how many people ate with 7 people
7x=n
now substitute
7x=n
7(3/8)=n
21/8=n
n=2 5/8
There are 453.592 grams in 1 pound.
3825 / 453.592 = 8.43
3825 grams is about 8.43 pounds.
BC is 8.7
CA is 20
