Algebra.Com's Answer #494638 by LinnW(1048) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Extend the segments so that there are multiple angles at A , B and C . \n" ); document.write( "Assign numbers to angles, beginning with angle ABZ. Call \n" ); document.write( "angle ABZ, angle 1. Around B, label the angles clockwise as angles \n" ); document.write( "2, 3 and 4. \n" ); document.write( "Around A, begin with angle ZAB, label it as 5. Label clockwise 6 , 7 and 8. \n" ); document.write( "Around P, begin with angle ZPQ, label it as 9. Label clockwise 10, 11 and 12. \n" ); document.write( "Around Q, begin with angle ZQP, label it as 13. Label clockwise 14, 15 and 16.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Angle 4 = angle 14, corresponding angles of diagonal intersecting || lines. \n" ); document.write( "Angle 1 = angle 13, supplementary angles. \n" ); document.write( "Angle 8 = angle 10, corresponding angles of diagonal intersecting || lines. \n" ); document.write( "Angle 9 = angle 5, supplementary angles. \n" ); document.write( "So ABZ is congruent with QPZ , by angle/side/angle. \n" ); document.write( "BZ congruent with ZQ since these sides are opposite angels 5 and 9 of congruent \n" ); document.write( "triangles.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( " |
