Your Turn: Find the measure of angle P below. Show your work. *
2 answers:
Check the picture.
The figure shows lines m, n and the line through points A And B, call it
.
1. The angles ABC and CBP are "supplementary" angles, that is angles whose sum is 180°, because together they form one straight angle.
thus,
(2x+5°)+(7x-14°)=180°
9x-9°=180°
9x=189°
x=189°/9=21°.
2. Remark, m and n are parallel, otherwise we can say nothing about the measure of angle P
check the second picture, notice the F shape formed by CBP and P.
Angles CBP and P are called "angles F" or "corresponding angles".
Corresponding angles formed by a line cutting 2 parallel lines, are always congruent (that is equal) so:
m(P)=m(CBP)=7x-14°=7.21°-14°=147°-14°=133°
Answer: 133°

Answer:
(2) a rotation by about the intersection of the lines creating the vertical angles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rigid motion are a set of transformation procedure to change the dimension, orientation or size of a given figure or shape. It involves rotation, translation, reflection and dilation.
Vertical angles are formed when two straight lines intersect to form angles. But two opposite angles called vertical angles are equal. To prove that vertical angles are equal; a rotation by about the intersection of the lines creating the vertical angles is required.
