Question

Explain the connection between ∠2 and ∠B.

Answer 1

Answer:

∠2 ≅ ∠B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the triangle be ABC,

Given that,

∠A = 50°

∠C = 65°

Using angle-sum property of the triangle,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

50° + ∠B  + 65° = 180°

∵ ∠B = 65°         ...(i)

A.T.Q.

Two horizontal lines are extended making 3 angles. Two angles out of them are 50° and 65°.

Since the adjacent angles comprising a straight line is equals to 180°.

so,

∠2 + 50° + 65° = 180°

∠2 + 115° = 180°

∠2 = 180° - 115°

∵ ∠2 = 65°   ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii),

∠2 ≅ ∠B

Therefore, ∠2 and ∠B are congruent to one another.

Answer 2

Answer: Sample Response: The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. m∠B + 50 + 65 = 180, so m∠B = 65°. The sum of adjacent angles forming a straight line is also 180°. m∠2 + 50 + 65 =180, so m∠2 = 65°. The angles are congruent.
