Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

A surveyor records angle measures formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines, as shown in the table.

If angles 1 and 2 are same-side interior angles, what is the measure of angle 2?

Explanation

When a transversal crosses two parallel lines, same-side interior angles are supplementary, so their measures add to . Since angle 1 is , angle 2 is . Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

For two parallel lines cut by a transversal, same-side interior angles are supplementary, meaning their measures sum to .

Question 2 of 5

Two lines intersect. One of the angles formed has measure . Which statement must be true?

Explanation

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles form a linear pair, so their measures add to . If one angle is , then an adjacent angle is . Therefore, the statement that must be true is that an adjacent angle has measure .

Concept summary

When two lines intersect, vertical angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add to .

Question 3 of 5

A city planner draws two straight streets that intersect. One of the angles at the intersection measures . What is the measure of an angle adjacent to it?

Explanation

Adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines make a linear pair, so they are supplementary. That means their measures add to . The angle adjacent to is . Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles form a linear pair and add to .

Question 4 of 5

At a city intersection, two streets cross to form four angles. One of the angles measures . What is the measure of an angle adjacent to that angle?

Explanation

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles form a linear pair, so their measures add to . If one angle is , then an adjacent angle measures . Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add to , while vertical angles are equal.

Question 5 of 5

On the coordinate plane, line passes through the points and . What is the measure of the acute angle that line makes with the positive -axis?

Explanation

First find the slope of line using the two points:

For a line that makes an angle with the positive -axis, the slope is . So:

The acute angle whose tangent is 1 is . Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

For a line on the coordinate plane, the slope equals the tangent of the angle the line makes with the positive -axis: .
