21. Analyze Math Relationships To make a puzzle, Denzel draws lines a and b to cut along on a square piece of posterboard. He wants to draw line c so that it is parallel to line b. What should the measure of angle 2 be? Explain.
22. Communicate Reasoning A downhill skier is fastest when her skis are parallel. What should angle 1 be in order for the skier to maximize her speed through a gate? Which theorem justifies your answer?
23. Explain Math Ideas Malia makes a fabric design by drawing diagonals between opposite corners. She wants to draw other lines parallel to the diagonal lines, as shown by the dashed lines.
a. What should angle 2 be in order for line to be parallel to line 7? Explain.
b. What should angle 2 be in order for line to be parallel to line 7? Explain.
24. In order for (1) c || d, 2 and 7 must be ? and 3 and 5 must be ?
25. Which statement must always be true?
If ∠1 ≅ ∠2, then g || h.
If ∠3 ≅ ∠6, then g || h.
If ∠4 ≅ ∠5, then g || h.
If ∠2 ≅ ∠3, then g || h.

Answer

  1. To make line c parallel to line b, angle 2 should be equal to angle 1 because corresponding angles are equal when two lines are parallel. This is justified by the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

  2. Angle 1 should be equal to the angle of the slope that is parallel to the skis. This maximizes speed by minimizing friction. The Parallel Postulate justifies this, as parallel lines ensure consistent direction and speed.

  3. To make the dashed lines parallel to the diagonal lines, angle 2 should be equal to the corresponding angle on the diagonal line. This ensures parallelism by the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

  4. a. Angle 2 should be equal to the corresponding angle on line 7 to ensure parallelism, as per the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

  5. b. Angle 2 should be equal to the corresponding angle on line 7 to ensure parallelism, as per the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

  6. In order for (1) c || d, 2 and 7 must be equal (corresponding angles), and 3 and 5 must be equal (alternate interior angles).

  7. The statement that must always be true is: If ∠3 ≅ ∠6, then g || h. This is justified by the Corresponding Angles Postulate.
