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 degree of the polynomial b5 + 2b3 + 7.
scoray [572]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

b^5 + 2b^3 + 7

Here,

degrees are 5 and 3.

The degree of the polynomial is the <u>highest / greatest number</u> in the degree.

Out of 3 and 5

5 is the highest / greatest number.

Hence,

the degree of the given polynomial is 5.

An isosceles triangle has a vertical angle of 108 and a base 20 cm long. Solve for the base angles in calculated altitude.
xeze [42]

Answer:

The base angles are 36° each

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two of its sides and base angles to be equal.

If an isosceles triangle has a vertical angle of 108°, then the base angles will share the remaining angle in the triangle equally.

Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

The remaining angle in the triangle = 180°-108°

= 72°

Since the base angles are equal, this remaining two angles will share angle 72° equally.

The base angles = 72°/2

The base angles = 36°

This shows that the base angles are 36° each.
