Question 172050: I am so sorry but I am having so much trouble understanding how to figure this out. I am being asked about union and intersections of line and rays and union and intersections of angles. I do not just want the answers I really wnat to understand how to do it. The textbook just does not make it clear to me. I have AD U BC there is a line w/two sided arrow over the AD and a line over BC. The second one BC U CF U FB with a line over all of them without any arrows. The third one is angle HCD intersects(symbol upsidedown U)angle ACF. And the fouth one is angle ICA intersects (symbol is the upsidedown U again) EG-this has a line with the two sided arrrows again.
The line ABCD has two other line crossing it (one at point B and the other at point C)and they intersect to create the top of a triangle above rays BC of line.
I pray this is not too complicated and you can help me anyway. I totally understand if you can't, and I have no money right now to offer any of you but when I do I will make a donation to you. I plan to keep your information so when I can I will contact you. I hope you do not feel like I am just saying this to get help. Honestly.
Again I am not just looking for the answers I need to understand how. Thank you so much in advance.
