let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.

Since the diagram represents parallel lines cut by a transversal line, the angles formed by these lines follow a series of rules. One of them is that corresponding angles are equal. Corresponding angles can be identified because they are located in the same position on different "crosses" formed by lines. In this case, angle x and the angle labeled 83° are corresponding angles and are therefore equal. We then know that angle x is 83° so choice B is correct.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The total change is the sum of the length of two boards she cut.
First board length is 1 7/8th feet. Let's change to improper fraction:
1 7/8 = 15/8 feet
Second board lengrh is 3.5 feet, or 3 1/2 feet. Let's change to improper fraction:
3 1/2 = 7/2 feet
Let's add the two:

The change in original board is 43/8 feet
It go vroom! vroom vroom vroom
1/7 is the answer. 4/28 = 1/7 but in the lowest term
