Question

From the following figure, why can you not conclude that lines l and m are parallel?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel then the 2 corresponding angles would have to be congruent. However, they are not , one is 120 the other is 118

Hence corresponding angles postulate are not congruent.

Answer 2

Answer: Corresponding angles postulate are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given picture , we have two lines ( line l and m) intersecting by a transversal line.

The pair of corresponding angles are 120° and 118°.

But the corresponding angles postulate says that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the corresponding angles formed are congruent .

But 120°≠118°

Hence,  l and m are not parallel
