Example Question #21 : Lines
In the above figure, give the union of
and .
can be seen to be completely contained in - that is, . The union of a set and its subset is the containing set, so the correct response is .
Example Question #411 : Geometry
Give the union of
and in the above figure.
The diagram below shows
and in red and green, respectively:The union of the two sets is the set of points in one or the other; this set is the entire line containing the two rays, which is
.Example Question #653 : Problem Solving Questions
In the above figure, let
be the midpoint of . Which of the following would give another name for ?
Below is the diagram with midpoint
of added; also, , the ray starting at and passing through , is in green.A ray is named after, in order, its endpoint and any other point on the ray.
has as an endpoint, and also includes the points and , so there are two valid alternative names, and , among the choices. The correct response is .Example Question #11 : Understanding Rays
In the above diagram, let
and be the midpoints of and , respectively, and and be the midpoints of and , respectively. Which of the following is not a valid alternative name for ?Each of the other choices gives a valid alternative name for
.
Each of the other choices gives a valid alternative name for
.Below is the diagram with the points
, and , as described, shown in green. Also, , the ray that has endpoint and passes through , is marked in red.The ray also passes through
and , so , , , and —all four given names—are also valid names for the ray.Example Question #1 : Calculating An Angle Of A Line
What is the measure of an angle complementary to a
angle?
Complementary angles have degree measures that total
, so the measure of an angle complementary to a angle would have measure .Example Question #1 : Calculating An Angle Of A Line
What is the measure of an angle congruent to a
angle?
Two angles are congruent if they have the same degree measure, so an angle will be congruent to a
angle if its measure is also .Example Question #2 : Calculating An Angle Of A Line
What is the measure of an angle supplementary to a
angle?
Supplementary angles have degree measures that total
, so the measure of an angle complementary to a angle would have measure .Example Question #31 : Lines
What is the measure of an angle that is supplementary to a
angle?
Supplementary angles have degree measures that total
, so an angle supplementary to would measure .Example Question #2 : Calculating An Angle Of A Line
What is the measure of an angle congruent to a
angle?
Congruent angles have degree measures that are equal, so an angle congruent to
is .Example Question #422 : Geometry
What is the measure of an angle that is complementary to a
angle?
Complementary angles have degree measures that total
, so an angle complementary to would measure .All GMAT Math Resources
