Given:
A figure in which a transversal line t intersect the two parallel lines a and b.
To find:
The measure of the numbered angles.
Solution:
If a transversal line intersect the two parallel lines, then
1. Corresponding angles are equal.
2. Alternate interior angles are equal.
3. Alternate exterior angles are equal.
Now,
(Linear pair)
(Vertically opposite angles)
(Vertically opposite angles)
(Corresponding angles)
(Alternate interior angles)
(Alternate exterior angles)
(Corresponding angles)
Therefore, .
Answer:

- <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>
Explanation:
The diagram attached sketches the situtation.
Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.
Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:
- x/4 = y/2 ⇒ x = 2y
You have other equation:
- x+ y = 18
Substitute
- 2y + y = 18
- 3y = 18
- y = 18/3
- y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit
- x = 2(6) = 12
Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.
