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:
