Question

$\angle 1$ and $\angle2$ are supplementary angles. Which one has the greater measure?

Statement 1: $m \angle 1 < 100$

Statement 2: $\angle2$ is an obtuse angle.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

By definition, if $\angle 1$ and $\angle2$ are supplementary angles, then $m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = 180$ .

If Statement 1 is assumed and $m \angle 1 < 100$ , then $m\angle 2 > 80$ . This does not answer our question, since, for example, it is possible that $m \angle 1 = 91$ and $m \angle 2 = 89$ , or vice versa.

If Statement 2 is assumed, then $m\angle 2 > 90$ , and subsequently, $m \angle 1 < 90$ ; by transitivity, $m\angle 2 > m\angle 1$ .

What is the measure of $\angle FCB$ ?

Statement 1: $m \angle FBC = 43 ^{\circ }$

Statement 2: $m \angle DCG = 43 ^{\circ }$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

If we only know that $m \angle FBC = 43 ^{\circ }$ , then we cannot surmise anything from the diagram about the measure of $\angle FCB$ . But $\angle FCB$ and $\angle DCG$ are vertical angles, which must be congruent, so if we know $m \angle DCG = 43 ^{\circ }$ , then $\angle FCB= 43 ^{\circ }$ also.

Question

What is the measure of $\angle 1$ ?

Statement 1: $\angle 1$ is complementary to an angle that measures $48 ^{\circ }$ .

Statement 2: $\angle 1$ is adjacent to an angle that measures $42 ^{\circ }$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Complementary angles have degree measures that total $90 ^{\circ }$ , so the measure of an angle complementary to a $48 ^{\circ }$ angle would have measure . If Statement 1 is assumed, then $m \angle 1= 42 ^{\circ }$ .

Statement 2 gives no useful information. Adjacent angles do not have any numerical relationship; they simply share a ray and a vertex.

Question

Find the angle made by and the -axis.

I) goes through the origin and the point .

II) makes a degree angle between itself and the -axis.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the angle of the line, recall that each quadrant has 90 degrees

I) Tells us that the line has a slope of one. This means that if we make a triangle using our line, the x-axis and a line coming up from the x-axis at 90 degrees we will have a 45/45/90 triangle. Therefore, I) tells us that our angle is 45 degrees.

II) Tells us that the line makes a 45 degree angle between itself and the y-axis. Therefore:

Therfore, we could use either statement.

Refer to the above diagram. Evaluate $m \angle 3+ m \angle 4$ .

Statement 1: $m \angle1 + m \angle 5 = $120^{\circ }$$

Statement 2: $\bigtriangleup OPQ$ is an equilateral triangle.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Assume Statement 1 alone. $\angle 1$ and $\angle 4$ are a pair of vertical angles, as are $\angle 3$ and $\angle 5$ . Therefore,

$m \angle 4 = m \angle 1$

$m \angle 3 = m \angle 5$

By substitution,

$m \angle 3+ m \angle 4 = m \angle 1 + m \angle 5 = 120 ^{\circ}$ .

Assume Statement 2 alone. The angles of an equilateral triangle all measure , so $m \angle POQ = 60 ^{\circ }$ .

$\angle 3$ , $\angle 4$ , and $\angle POQ$ together form a straight angle, so ,

$m \angle 3 + m \angle 4 + m \angle POQ= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 3 + m \angle 4 $+60^{\circ }$ = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 3+ m \angle 4 = 120 ^{\circ}$

Refer to the above diagram. What is the measure of $\angle 1$ ?

Statement 1: $\bigtriangleup OPQ$ is an equilateral triangle.

Statement 2: $m \angle 3 = $65^{\circ }$$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$\angle 1$ , $\angle 2$ , and $\angle 3$ together form a straight angle, so their measures total ; therefore,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 3 = $180^{\circ }$$

Assume Statement 1 alone. The angles of an equilateral triangle all measure , so $m \angle POQ = 60 ^{\circ }$ ; $\angle POQ$ and $\angle 2$ form a pair of vertical angles, so they are congruent, and consequently, $m \angle 2 = $60^{\circ }$$ . Therefore,

$m \angle 1+ $60^{\circ }$ + m \angle 3 = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1 + m \angle 3 = $120^{\circ }$$

But with no further information, $m \angle 1$ cannot be calculated.

Assume Statement 2 alone. It follows that

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ $65^{\circ }$= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1+m \angle2 $=115^{\circ }$$

Again, with no further information, $m \angle 1$ cannot be calculated.

Assume both statements to be true. $m \angle 2 = $60^{\circ }$$ as a result of Statement 1, and $m \angle 3 = $65^{\circ }$$ from Statement 2, so

$m \angle $1+60^{\circ }$ + $65^{\circ }$= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle $1+125^{\circ }$= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle $1=55^{\circ }$$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Assume Statement 1 alone. $\angle 1$ , $\angle 2$ , and $\angle 3$ together form a straight angle, so their measures total ; therefore,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 3 = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1+122 ^{\circ } = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle $1=58^{\circ }$$

However, without any further information, we cannot determine the sum of the measures of $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ .

Assume Statement 2 alone. $\angle 2$ , $\angle 3$ , and $\angle 4$ together form a straight angle, so their measures total ; therefore,

$m \angle2+ m \angle 3 + m \angle 4= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 2+126 ^{\circ } = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 2 $=54^{\circ }$$

Again, without any further information, we cannot determine the sum of the measures of $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ .

Assume both statements are true. Since the measures of $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ can be calculated from Statements 1 and 2, respectively. We can add them:

$m \angle 1+ m \angle 2 = $58^{\circ }$+ $54^{\circ }$$=112^{\circ }$$

Statement 1: $m \angle 3+ m \angle 6 = $132^{\circ }$$

Statement 2: $m \angle 1+ m \angle 4 = $140^{\circ }$$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Assume Statement 1 alone. $\angle 3$ and $\angle 6$ are a pair of vertical angles and are therefore congruent, so the statement

$m \angle 3+ m \angle 6 = $132^{\circ }$$

can be rewritten as

$m \angle 3+ m \angle3 = $132^{\circ }$$

$2 \cdot m \angle3 = $132^{\circ }$$

$m \angle3 = $66^{\circ }$$

$\angle 1$ , $\angle 2$ , and $\angle 3$ together form a straight angle, so their measures total ; therefore,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 3 = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ 66 ^{\circ } = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1+m \angle2 = $114^{\circ }$$

But without further information, the measure of $\angle 1$ cannot be calculated.

Assume Statement 2 alone. $\angle 1$ and $\angle 4$ are a pair of vertical angles and are therefore congruent, so the statement

$m \angle 1+ m \angle 4 = $140^{\circ }$$

can be rewritten as

$m \angle 1+ m \angle 1 = $140^{\circ }$$

$2 \cdot m \angle 1 = $140^{\circ }$$

Refer to the above diagram. What is the measure of $\angle 1$ ?

Statement 1: $\angle 6$ is a $54 ^{\circ }$ angle.

Statement 2: $\angle 2 \cong \angle 3$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Statement 1 alone gives insufficient information to find the measure of $\angle 1$ .

$\angle 6$ , $\angle 1$ , and $\angle 2$ together form a angle; therefore,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 6 = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 6 = $54^{\circ }$$ , so by substitution,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ $54^{\circ }$ = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1+m \angle2= $126^{\circ }$$

But with no further information, the measure of $\angle 1$ cannot be calculated.

Statement 2 alone gives insufficient information for a similar reason. $\angle 1$ , $\angle 2$ , and $\angle 3$ together form a angle; therefore,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 3 = $180^{\circ }$$

Since $\angle 2 \cong \angle 3$ , we can rewrite this statement as

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 2 = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1+2 \cdot m \angle2 = $180^{\circ }$$

Again, with no further information, the measure of $\angle 1$ cannot be calculated.

Assume both statements to be true. $\angle 2$ and $\angle 6$ are a pair of vertical angles, so $\angle 2 \cong \angle 6$ , and $m \angle 2 = m \angle 6 = $54^{\circ }$$ . Since $\angle 2 \cong \angle 3$ , then $m \angle 3 = m \angle 2 = $54^{\circ }$$ . Also,

$m \angle 1+m \angle2+ m \angle 3 = $180^{\circ }$$

By substitution,

$m \angle 1+ $54^{\circ }$+ $54^{\circ }$ = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle $1+108^{\circ }$ = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle $1=72^{\circ }$$

Refer to the above diagram. What is the measure of $\angle 1$ ?

Statement 1: $m \angle 1 = 30 ^{\circ } + 2 \cdot m \angle 2$

Statement 2: $\angle 3$ is a $130 ^{\circ }$ angle.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Assume Statement 1 alone. Since $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ form a linear pair, their measures total . Therefore, this fact, along with Statement 1, form a system of linear equations, which can be solved as follows:

$m \angle 1 = 30 ^{\circ } + 2 \cdot m \angle 2$

$m \angle 1+ m \angle 2 = $180^{\circ }$$

The second equation can be rewritten as

$m \angle 2= $180^{\circ }$ - m \angle 1$

and a substitution can be made:

$m \angle 1 = 30 ^{\circ } + 2 \cdot ( $180^{\circ }$ - m \angle 1)$

$m \angle 1 = 30 ^{\circ } + $360^{\circ }$ - 2 \cdot m \angle 1$

$m \angle 1 = $390^{\circ }$ - 2 \cdot m \angle 1$

$m \angle 1 + 2 \cdot m \angle 1 = $390^{\circ }$ - 2 \cdot m \angle 1 + 2 \cdot m \angle 1$

$3 \cdot m \angle 1 = $390^{\circ }$$

$3 \cdot m \angle 1 \div 3 = $390^{\circ }$ \div 3$

$m \angle 1 = $130^{\circ }$$

Assume Statement 2 alone. $\angle 1$ and $\angle 3$ are a pair of vertical angles, which have the same measure, so $m \angle 1=m \angle 3 = $130^{\circ }$$ .

Refer to the above diagram. Is the sum of the measures of $\angle ADC$ and $\angle DCB$ less than, equal to, or greater than ?

Statement 1: $m \angle 1 + m \angle 6 = $181^{\circ }$$

Statement 2: $m \angle 7 + m \angle 12 = $179^{\circ }$$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Assume Statement 1 alone. $\angle ADC$ and $\angle 1$ form a linear pair of angles, so their measures total ; the same holds for $\angle DCB$ and $\angle 6$ . Therefore,

$m \angle 1 + m \angle ADC = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 6 + m \angle DBC = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1 +m \angle ADC+ m \angle 6 + m \angle DBC = $180^{\circ }$ + $180^{\circ }$$

$( m \angle ADC+ m \angle DBC) + (m \angle 1 +m \angle 6 $)=360^{\circ }$$

$( m \angle ADC+ m \angle DBC) $+181^{\circ }$$=360^{\circ }$$

$m \angle ADC+ m \angle $DBC=179^{\circ }$ < $180^{\circ }$$

Assume Statement 2 alone. $\angle 12$ and $\angle DAB$ form a linear pair of angles, so their measures total ; the same holds for $\angle 7$ and $\angle ABC$ . Therefore,

$m \angle 12 + m \angle DAB= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle7 + m \angle ABC= $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 12 +m \angle DAB + m \angle 7 + m \angle ABC= $180^{\circ }$ + $180^{\circ }$$

$( m \angle DAB+ m \angle ABC) + (m \angle 7 +m \angle 12 $)=360^{\circ }$$

$( m \angle DAB+ m \angle ABC) + $179^{\circ }$ $=360^{\circ }$$

$m \angle DAB+ m \angle ABC $=181^{\circ }$$

$\angle DAB$ , $\angle ABC$ , $\angle DCB$ , and $\angle ADC$ are the four angles of Quadrilateral , so their degree measures total 360. Therefore,

$m \angle ADC+ m \angle DCB + \left(m \angle DAB+ m \angle ABC \right) $=360^{\circ }$$

$m \angle ADC+ m \angle DCB + 181 ^{\circ } $=360^{\circ }$$

$m \angle ADC+ m \angle DCB $=179^{\circ }$< $180^{\circ }$$

Therefore, $\overline{AD}$ and $\overline{BC}$ are not parallel, and the sum of the degree measures of same-side interior angles $\angle ADC$ and $\angle DCB$ is not equal to .

Assume Statement 1 alone. $\angle 5$ and $\angle 6$ are vertical from $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ , respectively, so $m \angle 1 = m \angle 2$ and $m \angle 2 = m \angle 6$ . $\angle 5$ and $\angle 6$ form a complementary pair, so, by definition

$m \angle 5 + m \angle 6 = $90^{\circ}$$

and by substitution,

Assume Statement 2 alone. Since $\bigtriangleup ODE$ is a right triangle whose hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times as long as a leg, it follows that $\bigtriangleup ODE$ is a 45-45-90 triangle, so $m \angle DOE = $45^{\circ }$$ .

$\angle 1$ , $\angle 2$ , $\angle 3$ , and $\angle DOE$ together form a straight angle, so their degree measures total .

$m \angle 1 + m \angle 2+ m \angle 3+m \angle DOE = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1 + m \angle 2+ m \angle 3+ $45^{\circ }$ = $180^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 1 + m \angle 2+ m \angle 3 = $135^{\circ }$$

But without further information, the sum of the degree measures of only $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ cannot be calculated.

Assume Statement 2 alone. $\angle 1$ , $\angle 6$ , $\angle 7$ , and $\angle 8$ together form a straight angle, so their degree measures total .

Answer

Assume both statements to be true. We show that the two statements provide insufficient information by exploring two scenarios:

$m \angle 2 + m \angle 3 = 46 ^{\circ }+ $45^{\circ }$ = $91^{\circ }$$

$\angle 5$ and $\angle 6$ are vertical from $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ , respectively, so $m \angle 5 = m \angle 1$ and $m \angle 6 = m \angle 2$ , and

$m \angle 5 + m \angle 6 =m \angle 1+ m \angle 2 = 45 ^{\circ }+ $46^{\circ }$ = $91^{\circ }$$

Case 2: $m \angle 1 = m \angle 3 = 46 ^{\circ }, m \angle 2 = $45^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 2 + m \angle 3 = 45 ^{\circ }+ $46^{\circ }$ = $91^{\circ }$$

$m \angle 5 + m \angle 6 =m \angle 1+ m \angle 2 = 46 ^{\circ }+ $45^{\circ }$ = $91^{\circ }$$

The conditions of both statements are met, but $\angle 1$ assumes a different value in each scenario.

When we have a linear equation and a quadratic equation there are only so many times they can intersect. They can intersect 0 times, once, or twice.

Question

Determine the value of the four angles created by the intersecting lines.

Statement 1: Two angles are acute, and two angles are obtuse.

Statement 2: Any two non-perpendicular intersecting lines with known equations.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Statement 1): Two angles are acute, and two angles are obtuse.

This statement is not necessarily true. Two intersecting lines may also be perpendicular to each other, which means that all four angles are 90 degrees.

There is not enough information to justify this statement.

Statement 2: Any two non-perpendicular intersecting lines with known equations.

This is a tricky statement.

When two functions meet, they must have an intersecting point $\textup{P}$ . Both functions $\textup{f1, f2}$ can be set equal to each other to determine that intersecting point.

Draw an imaginary line $\textup{f3}$ where the line is perpendicular to the first function and passes through the second function at some known arbitrary point $\textup{P2}$ . Point $\textup{P1}$ will need to be determined.

The equation of the third function can be determined since imaginary line $\textup{f3}$ intersects equation $\textup{f1}$ at $\textup{P2}$ , and $\textup{f1}$ is also perpendicular to $\textup{f3}$ . The slope of $\textup{f3}$ can be determined since it's the negative reciprocal of the slope of $\textup{f1}$ .

After the equation $\textup{f3}$ has been determined by using point $\textup{P2}$ and the slope of $\textup{f1}$ , the point $\textup{P1}$ can also be determined by setting the functions $\textup{f2 and f3}$ equal to each other.

Once the points $\textup{P, P1, and P2}$ have been determined, the distance formula may be used to determine the lengths from $\textup{P to P1}$ , $\textup{P to P2}$ , and $\textup{P1 to P2}$ .

The Law of Sines can then be used to determine the interior angles of the triangle bounded by $\textup{P, P1, and P2}$ . Knowing one angle at the intersection of $\textup{f1, f2}$ is sufficient to solve for all four angles by supplementary and opposite angle rules.

Therefore:

$\textup{Statement 2) ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 1) ALONE is not sufficient to answer the question.}$
