Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.

can someone please solve this? I clicked on homework help and it wasn't much help. I'm trying to turn in as much missing assignm

Answer:

One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556

In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.

========================================================

Explanation:

Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.

The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side

The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.

We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.

A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.

-----------------

Let's solve for x

A/C = B/D

8/18 = x/8

8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply

64 = 18x

18x = 64

x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18

x = 32/9 exactly in fraction form

x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form

-------------------

Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.
