5. Reasoning in Algebra and Geometry
Sign In
We are given the following diagram.
As we can see, there are two intersecting segments that form four angles. Let's first analyze the segments and then we will consider the angles.
On the diagram, two segments intersect each other, and we can see two red marks on ED.
This means that BD and EB are congruent segments. Therefore, AC bisects DE.
Linear Pair Postulate |
If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary. |
According to this postulate, the angles from each pair are supplementary angles.
Supplementary Angles | |
---|---|
Pair 1 | ∠1 and ∠2 |
Pair 2 | ∠2 and ∠CBD |
Pair 3 | ∠CBD and ∠ABD |
Pair 4 | ∠ABD and ∠1 |
Let's list all the statements that we can make based on the given diagram.
