Question

determine if l || m based on the information given on the diagram. If yes, state the converse that proves the lines are parallel.​

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. YES.

Converse: If same side interior angles are supplementary, then l || m. (Same side interior angles)

Since the sum of the two same side interior angles, 65° and 115°, equals 180°, therefore, l || m.

2. YES.

Converse: if two angles angles are a linear pair, they are supplementary, therefore l || m. (Linear pair)

Thus,

128° + 53° = 180°.

3. YES.

Converse: if two angles are corresponding angles and congruent, therefore l || m. (Corresponding angles).

Thus,

The indicated angles which are equal to 90°, are corresponding angles therefore, l || m.

4. YES

Converse: if two alternate exterior angles are congruent, then l || m. (Alternate exterior angles)

Thus, the two exterior angles are congruent, therefore l || m.
