Questions and Answers

1.

angles a and b are:
- A.
  
  Alternate
- B.
  
  Co-interior
- C.
  
  Vertically-opposite
- D.
  
  Corresponding
- E.
  
  Exterior
Correct Answer
C. Vertically-opposite

Explanation
Vertically-opposite angles are formed when two lines intersect. In this case, angles a and b are formed by the intersection of two lines. Vertically-opposite angles are always equal to each other, meaning that angle a is equal to angle b. This is why the answer is vertically-opposite.

angles a and c are:
- A.
  
  Alternate
- B.
  
  Co-interior
- C.
  
  Vertically-opposite
- D.
  
  Corresponding
- E.
  
  Exterior
Correct Answer
D. Corresponding

Explanation
Angles a and c are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. In this case, the angles a and c are located in the same position on the two parallel lines, one on each line. Corresponding angles have equal measures, so angle a and angle c are equal.

  Alternate
- B.
  
  Co-interior
- C.
  
  Vertically-opposite
- D.
  
  Corresponding
- E.
  
  Exterior
Correct Answer
B. Co-interior

Explanation
Angles b and c are co-interior angles because they are located on the same side of the transversal line and on the inside of the two parallel lines. Co-interior angles are supplementary, which means that their sum is equal to 180 degrees. In this case, angles b and c add up to 180 degrees, indicating that they are co-interior angles.

- E.
  
  Exterior
Correct Answer
A. Alternate

Explanation
Angles b and g are alternate angles. Alternate angles are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. In this case, the angles b and g are on opposite sides of the transversal and on different parallel lines. Alternate angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.

How many degrees is angle a?

Correct Answer
63, sixty three, 63 degrees, 63 degree, sixty-three degree

Explanation
The given answer "63, sixty three, sixtythree" indicates that angle a measures 63 degrees. The angles are vertical, which means they are equal to each other. Thus, if one angle is 63 degrees, then so is the other angle.

How many degrees is angle a?

Correct Answer
70, seventy

Explanation
Angle “a” and 110 degrees are supplementary angles. They add up to equal 180. Thus, to determine what angle a is we will subtract 110 from 180 which will give us 70 for angle “a”.

How many degrees is angle c?

Correct Answer
110, one hundred and ten, one hundred ten

Explanation
70 degrees and angle “c” are co-interior angles. They add up to equal 180. Thus, to determine what angle “c” is we will subtract 70 from 180, which gives us 110.

Correct Answer
A. 55°

Explanation
The size of angle d is 55°. Angle b and 55 degrees are vertical angles, which means they are equal. Thus, angle b is 55. However, angle b and angle d are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal to each other. Thus, angle d is 55.

How many degrees is angle f?

Correct Answer
140, one hundred and forty, one hundred forty

Explanation
Angle f and 40 degrees are co-interior angles. Co-interior angles are supplementary which mean they add up to equal 180. Thus, we will subtract 40 from 180 to determine that angle f is 140 degrees.
