Question 1: The answer is <u>c. Yes, angles are complementary if (and only if) their sum measures to 90 degrees.</u>

This definition of complementary is reversible because both parts of the sentence, whatever order they are put, are true. And we can be sure of it, when rewriting the sentence into both conditional statement and conditional converse. Both conditionals, have a part of a sentence that is called "hypothesis" and other that is called "conclusion".

  • In conditional, the hypothesis clause comes first, and then the conclusion: <em>If the angles are complementary, then their sum measures to 90 degrees.</em>
  • In converse, the conclusion clause comes first and then the hypothesis: <em>If the sum of angles measures to 90 degrees, then the angles are complementary.</em>

When both sentences in the conditional and in the converse are true, then it is can be a biconditional sentence. Furthermore, the general structure of this type of sentence is First clause + If (and only if) + Second clause.

Question 2: The answer is <u>d. a ray is a bisector of an angle if and only if it splits the angle into two angles.</u>

A ray is a bisector of an angle only when the line segment splits the angle into two <u>equal</u> parts.

Read the excerpt from "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Select four sets of lines in the poem that reflect the Victorian theme
iren2701 [21]

Answer: Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows;

for my purpose To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die.

One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Explanation:

In the first line the author exhorts his friends to search a new world.

Ulysses exhorts his sailors to set sail; the phrase "smite / the sounding furrows" compares the act of rowing to beating or striking something; beating something that makes a sound is here a metaphor for rowing. ... "Beyond the sunset" is a metaphor.

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Ulysses yet again tells us that even though he and his sailors are not young and don't have a lot of stamina, there's enough left to go for a while. "Abides" is a word that means "remains."
