Cats to dogs means that the first number is cats and the second number is dogs. Thus, you have the ratios 2 cats to 5 dogs and 5 cats to 2 dogs which are different.

If they are both ratios of cats to dogs, with the ratio 2 to 5 it would mean there are 2.5x more dogs then there are cats, but with the ratio 5 to 2 it would mean there are 2.5x more cats than there are dogs, in which they are both different.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB║CD, EF ║GH, we can use the Corresponding Angles Postulate, for finding the following congruent angles:

∠IKL ≅ ∠EIJ and ∠EIJ ≅ ∠GJA

∠GJA and ∠IJG are supplementary, therefore:

∠GJA + ∠IJG = 180°

∠IJG = 180° - 57°
