Answer: Choice C

There is no way to figure out if angle 4 and angle 7 are congruent. If we knew they were right angles, then we would be able to determine that. However, that isn't the case here.

Answer:

Option C. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, f and g are two parallel lines and a transverse is intersecting these lines.

Now we will each option to check whether it is applicable or not.

A. ∠1 ≅ ∠8

Since ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [ Corresponding angles]

and ∠5 ≅ ∠8 [ opposite angles ]

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠8 [Transitive property of equality]

Therefore, option is correct.

B). m∠2 + m∠5 = 180°

Since ∠2 ≅ ∠7

Therefore, m∠7 + m∠5 = 180° [ supplementary angles]

Therefore, option is correct.

C. ∠4 ≅ ∠7

We can not deduce this statement from the given statement.

D. ∠3 + ∠8 = 180°

Since ∠3 ≅ ∠7

So ∠7 + ∠8 = 180°

And we know ∠7 and ∠8 are supplementary angles.

So this option is correct.

Lou wants to make a coffee mixture to sell. He is going to mix Sumatra coffee which costs $2.50 per pound with Columbian coffee

Scilla [17]

To answer this question you need to create 2 equations:
S+C=50
2.50S+3.75C=3.35*(50)
S=50-C -so now you can plug in S into the second equation
2.50*(50-C)+3.75C=167.5
Now you just need to solve this equation, the final answer will be 34 pounds of colombian coffee and 16 pounds of sumatra coffee
