Lines and
are parallel. Which angle is congruent to angle
?
Explanation
When two lines are parallel, corresponding angles are congruent. Because we don't know if lines and
are parallel, we can't make any conclusions about angles 2 and 3.
With the given information, we can ignore line , as it has no relation to angle
. This leaves angles 1 and 4 as possible answers. Angle 4 will be congruent to angle
, while angle 1 will supplement angle
.

If measures
, which of the following is equivalent to the measure of the supplement of
?
Explanation
When the measure of an angle is added to the measure of its supplement, the result is always 180 degrees. Put differently, two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees. For example, two angles whose measures are 50 degrees and 130 degrees are supplementary, because the sum of 50 and 130 degrees is 180 degrees. We can thus write the following equation:
Subtract 40 from both sides.
Add to both sides.
The answer is .

Explanation
Coresponding angles can be found when a line crosses two parallel lines. Angles 10 and 14 are equal, because corresponding angles are equal. Angles 14 and 13 are supplementary because together they form a straight line. If angles 10 and 14 are equal, then angles 10 and 13 must be supplementary as well.
