The unmarked angle is adjacent to an angle of 160 degrees.
Remember: the sum of adjacent angles is 180 degrees.
Therefore, the size of the unknown angle is:
180−160=20
Answer
20
Exercise #7
Identify the angle shown in the figure below?
Step-by-Step Solution
Remember that adjacent angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect each other.
These angles are created at the point of intersection, one adjacent to the other, and that's where their name comes from.
Adjacent angles always complement each other to one hundred and eighty degrees, meaning their sum is 180 degrees.
Answer
Adjacent
Exercise #8
In a right triangle, the sum of the two non-right angles is...?
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
In a right-angled triangle, there is one angle that equals 90 degrees, and the other two angles sum up to 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)
Therefore, the sum of the two non-right angles is 90 degrees
90+90=180
Answer
90 degrees
Exercise #9
Lines a and b are parallel.
Which of the following angles are co-interior?
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
Let's remember the definition of consecutive angles:
Consecutive angles are, in fact, a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a straight line when this line crosses a pair of parallel straight lines.
These angles are on opposite levels with respect to the parallel line to which they belong.
The sum of a pair of angles on one side is one hundred eighty degrees.
Therefore, since line a is parallel to line b and according to the previous definition: the anglesβ+γ=180
are consecutive.
Answer
β,γ
Exercise #10

b
Determine which of the statements is correct.
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
Let's review the definition of adjacent angles:
Adjacent angles are angles formed where there are two straight lines that intersect. These angles are formed at the point where the intersection occurs, one next to the other, and hence their name.
Now let's review the definition of collateral angles:
Two angles formed when two or more parallel lines are intersected by a third line. The collateral angles are on the same side of the intersecting line and even are at different heights in relation to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.
Therefore, answer C is correct for this definition.
In the question, we can see that there are two pairs of parallel lines, line a and line b.
When passing another line between parallel lines, different angles are formed, which we need to know.
Angles alpha and the given angle of 104 are on different sides of the transversal line, but both are in the interior region between the two parallel lines,
This means they are alternate angles, and alternate angles are equal.
Therefore,
Angle beta and the second given angle of 81 degrees are both on the same side of the transversal line, but each is in a different position relative to the parallel lines, one in the exterior region and one in the interior. Therefore, we can see that these are corresponding angles, and corresponding angles are equal.
Therefore,
Answer
α=104β=81
Exercise #12
The lines a and b are parallel.
What are the corresponding angles?
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
Given that line a is parallel to line b, let us remind ourselves of the definition of corresponding angles between parallel lines:
Corresponding angles are angles located on the same side of the line that intersects the two parallels and are also situated at the same level with respect to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.
Corresponding angles are equal in size.
According to this definition α=βand as such they are the corresponding angles.
Answer
α,β
Exercise #13
What angles are shown in the diagram below?
Step-by-Step Solution
Let's remember that vertical angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect. They are are created at the point of intersection and are opposite each other.
Answer
Vertical
Exercise #14
What type of angle is α?
Step-by-Step Solution
Remember that an acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is larger than 90 degrees, and a straight angle equals 180 degrees.
Since the lines are perpendicular to each other, the marked angles are right angles each equal to 90 degrees.
Answer
Straight
Exercise #15
Which angles in the drawing are co-interior given that a is parallel to b?
Video Solution
Step-by-Step Solution
Given that line a is parallel to line b, the anglesα2,β1 are equal according to the definition of corresponding angles.
Also, the anglesα1,γ1are equal according to the definition of corresponding angles.
Now let's remember the definition of collateral angles:
Collateral angles are actually a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a line when it crosses a pair of parallel lines.
These angles are on opposite levels with respect to the parallel line they belong to.
The sum of a pair of angles on one side is one hundred eighty degrees.
Therefore, since line a is parallel to line b and according to the previous definition: the angles
