Use the Corresponding Angles Theorem and the Vertical Angles Theorem.
∠4, ∠5, ∠7
The following diagram is given.
To find the angles that are congruent to the given angle, we will need to use two different theorems: the Corresponding Angles Theorem and the Vertical Angles Theorem. Let's first recall the Corresponding Angles Theorem.
|
Corresponding Angles Theorem |
|
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent. |
We can visualize this theorem. Consider two lines l and m, where l∥ m.
Applying the theorem, we can identify the first congruent angle from the given diagram. m∠5 = 51^(∘) Next, we will use the Vertical Angles Theorem.
|
Vertical Angles Theorem |
|
If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. |
We can illustrate this theorem as well. Once again, assume that l∥ m.
Applying this theorem, we can find two more congruent angles. m∠4 and m∠7 Now that we've found all of the possible congruent angles, let's mark them on the diagram.
