Question 300736: I need major help on how to answer these questions and what they are. Here is the info...
* The slash / represents a fraction bar and division. For example, one half = 1/2.
* The notation sqrt( ) is used to denote the square root of a number.

To answer some of the following questions you will need to refer to the figures below:
Figure 1: The three horizontal lines are parallel.
Figure 3: The two horizontal lines are parallel.
Figure 7: JM and JP are chords of the circle. JK is a diameter.

Figure 8: GH and JK are chords of the circle.

Use Figure 3 below for the following proof:
Given: Lines a and b are cut by the transversal f, and m ang 1 + m ang 3 = 180°.
Prove: lines a and b are parallel.
1. m ang 1 + m ang 3 = 180o : Given
2. m ang 3 + m ang 5 = 180° : Definition of straight angle
3. m ang 1 + m ang 3 = m ang 3 + m ang 5 : __________
4. m ang 1 = m ang 5 : __________
5. Lines a and b are parallel: __________

Here are the figures that go with some of the questions:

Thank you so much! :( this is just a study guide (ungraded but counted as an incomplete if not done.
