Example Questions

Example Question #1501 : Ged Math

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 43 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #1502 : Ged Math

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 74 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #1503 : Ged Math

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 146 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #1504 : Ged Math

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 38 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #1505 : Ged Math

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 157 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #541 : Geometry And Graphs

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 18 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #542 : Geometry And Graphs

Find the measure of angle B if it is the supplement to angle A:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means the sum of their degrees of measure will add up to 180. In order to find the measure of angle B, subtract angle A from 180 like shown:

This gives us a final answer of 22 degrees for angle B.

Example Question #1506 : Ged Math

Thingy

Refer to the above diagram. 

Which of the following is a valid alternative name for  ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The name of a ray includes two letters, so  can be eliminated.

The first letter must be the endpoint. Since  is a name of the ray, the endpoint is , and any alternative name for the ray must begin with . This leaves only .

Example Question #1507 : Ged Math

 Thingy

Refer to the above diagram. 

.

What is  ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

 and  are two acute angles of a right triangle and are therefore complementary - that is, 

, so

 and , being alternate interior angles formed by transversal  across parallel lines, are congruent, so .

We now look at , whose interior angles must have degree measures totaling , so

Example Question #1508 : Ged Math

Thingy

Refer to the above diagram.

Which of the following facts does not, by itself, prove that  ?

Possible Answers:

 and  are supplementary angles

 is a right angle

  bisects 

Correct answer:

  bisects 

Explanation:

From the Parallel Postulate and its converse, as well as its various resulting theorems, two lines in a plane crossed by a transversal are parallel if any of the following happen:

Both lines are perpendicular to the same third line - this happens if  is a right angle, since, from this fact and the fact that  is also right, both lines are perpendicular to .

Same-side interior angles are supplementary - this happens if  and  are supplementary, since they are same-side interior angles with respect to transversal .

Alternate interior angles are congruent - this happens if , since they are alternate interior angles with respect to transversal .

However, the fact that   bisects  has no bearing on whether  is true or not, since it does not relate any two angles formed by a transversal. 

"  bisects " is the correct choice.
