Two lines intersect, and you know the measure of one angle. How can you determine the measures of the other three angles
2 answers:
Answer:
Opposite angles are the same measure.
Angles around a point = 360°
When you add all the angles, you get 360.
Angle a and b would measure the same and so would angle d and c. So you double the measure for one of those angles and subtract it from 360.
Then, you half that value( divide by 2) and this is to find the measure of the other angle

Answer:
A trapezoid ABCD is show below,
AB || CD
AC and BD are diagonals intersecting at P.
(a)
In Δ ABC and ABD,
Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD
Because,
Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 × Base × Height
Base = AB
Height = h, which is same for both the triangle that's why,
Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD
(b)
As we know that,
Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD
On subtracting the area of triangle ABP from both the triangles, we get
Area of triangle ABC - area of triangle ABP = Area of triangle ABD - area of triangle ABP
⇒ area of triangle BCP = area of triangle DAP
Hence, triangles BCP and DAP have the same area.
(c)
In triangle ABP and CDP,
∠ABP = ∠CDP (opposite interior angles are equal between two parallel lines)
∠APB = ∠CPD (opposite angles are equal)
∠BAP = ∠DCP (opposite interior angles are equal between two parallel lines)
Therefore,
By AAA similarity
Triangles ABP and CDP are similar.
(d)
In triangle BCP and DAP,
Only ∠BCP = ∠APD (opposite angles are equal).
Therefore,
Triangles BCP and DAP need not be similar.
