Which of the following statements must be true about this diagram? Check all that apply.
A. m1 + m2 = m4
B. m1 + m2 = m3
C. m4 is greater than m2
D. m4 is greater than m1
E. m3 is greater than m2
F. m2 + m3 = m4

Respuesta :

By looking at the diagram:

m3 = 180-m4

sum of the angles = m1 + m2 + m3 = 180 degrees

substituting the value of m3:
m1 + m2 + ( 180 - m4 ) = 180

m4= 180 - m3


m1 + m2 + (180 - m4) - (180-m4) = 180 - (180-m4)

Hence:
m1 + m2 = m4
so the right answers after concluding from the above calculations is:

A. m1 + m2 = m4
C.m4 is greater than m2
D. m4 is greater than m1

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to [tex] 180\ degrees [/tex]

so

[tex] m1+m2+m3=180 [/tex] -----> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] m3+m4=180 [/tex] ------> by suplementary angles

solve for m3

[tex] m3=180-m4 [/tex] -----> equation [tex] 2 [/tex]

substitute equation [tex] 2 [/tex] in equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2+(180-m4)=180 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2+(180-m4)=180 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2=m4 [/tex] ----> equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

let's analyze each case

[tex] case\ a)\ m1 + m2 = m4 [/tex]

see the equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2=m4 [/tex]

[tex] This\ case\ is\ true [/tex]

[tex] case\ b)\ m1 + m2 = m3 [/tex]

see the equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2+m3=180\\ m1+m2=180-m3 [/tex]

[tex] This\ case\ is\ not\ true [/tex]

[tex]because\ (m1+m2)\ is\ equal\ to\ the\ suplementary\ angle\ of\ m3 [/tex]

[tex] case\ c)\ m4\ is\ greater\ than\ m2 [/tex]

see the equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2=m4 [/tex]

[tex] m4 > m2 [/tex]

so

[tex] This\ case\ is\ true [/tex]

[tex] case\ d)\ m4\ is\ greater\ than\ m1 [/tex]

see the equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2=m4 [/tex]

[tex] m4 > m1 [/tex]

so

[tex] This\ case\ is\ true [/tex]

[tex] case\ e)\ m3\ is\ greater\ than\ m2 [/tex]

see the equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2+m3=180 [/tex]

so

[tex] Not\ necessarily\ m3\ is\ greater\ than\ m2 [/tex]

[tex] case\ e)\ m2+m3=m4 [/tex]

see the equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

[tex] m1+m2=m4 [/tex]

when m1=m3--------> m3+m2=m4

so

[tex] Not\ necessarily [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex] A.\ m1 + m2 = m4 [/tex]

[tex] C.\ m4\ is\ greater\ than\ m2 [/tex]

[tex] D.\ m4\ is\ greater\ than\ m1 [/tex]
