Answer: Choice B)

If corresponding angles are not congruent, then the lines are not parallel.

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

Explanation:

The given conditional is in the form "If P, then Q"

where,

  • P = two lines are parallel
  • Q = corresponding angles are congruent

The P and Q are placeholders for those definitions shown above. So we'll simply do a "search and replace" to replace P and Q with those phrases. We do this shortening so that we can do logical operations.

Specifically, we'll do two things:

  1. Swap the positions of P and Q
  2. Place a "not" before each letter after the swap

We go from the format "if P, then Q" to "if not Q, then not P". Those two formats are equivalent in truth value. This is known as the contrapositive.

In terms of the problem at hand, the phrase "if not Q, then not P" becomes "If corresponding angles are not congruent, then the lines are not parallel"

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

In short, we swap each part of the original "if ..., then ..." statement, and stick "not"s in there to negate each piece.

Find the area pf a trapezoid with a base of 26.7 ft , a height of 15.4 and top of 9.9 ft
evablogger [386]
Hello!

To find the area of the trapezoid, you use the formula A=1/2h(a+b), where a and b represent the two base lengths.

Since we already know the two bases and the height, we can just plug them into the equation to find the area.

A=1/2·15.4(26.7+9.9)
A=1/2·15.4(36.6)
A=1/2·563.64
A=281.82

The area is 281.82 ft².

I hope this helps!

I need some help with this
Mashutka [201]
The angle of elevation from the hiker to the park ranger is the same as the angle of depression from the ranger to the hiker, 29°.

The tangent function of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side (500') to the adjacent side (x) in the right triangle shown. That is
   tan(29°) = 500' / x

Multiplying the equation by x/tan(29°) gives
   x = 500' / tan(29°)
   x ≈ 500' / 0.5543
   x ≈ 902 ft
