020. ``q Query 20

Question: `q Query 9.1.36 Given rays MO and OM

• How do you express the intersection of the two rays?

• How do you express the union of the two rays.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The rays MO and OM have single arrows over the two letters that designates they continue forever. These two rays have the line segment OM (two letters with a line across the top) in common, which is called an intersection. The union of the 2 rays forms the line OM (line with 2 arrows) and continues forever in BOTH directions.

Given Solution:

`aSTUDENT SOLUTION:

The ray MO, designated by the letters MO with a single arrow over the top, originates at the point M, passes through the point O and continues forever.

The ray OM, designated by the letters OM with a single arrow over the top, originates at the point O, passes through the point M and continues forever.

The two rays have in common the line segment OM, which would be designated by the letters OM with a 'bar' over the top. This would be the intersection of the two rays.

The union of the two rays would form the line OM, which continues forever in both directions and is designated by the letters OM with a 'double arrow' over the top (a double arrow looks something like <-->).

Question: `q Query 9.1.54 lines SR and TP intersect at Q, where Q lies between S and R, and also between T and P.

What are the names of the pairs of vertical angles for this figure?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The only pairs of vertical angles for this figure are SQT & PQR, SQP & RQT. These are the only possible vertical angles.

Given Solution:

The point Q lies between S and R on the first line, and between T and P on the second.

The angles formed by these two intersecting lines, running clockwise around the figure, are SQT, SQP, PQR and RQT.

A pair of vertical angles consists two alternate angles from this list. The only possibilities are

• SQT and PQR

• SQP and RQT

and these are the possible pairs of vertical angles.

Question: `q Query 9.1.60 Angles 5x - 129 deg and 2x - 21 deg are vertical angles.

• What is the value of x and how did you obtain it?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

We say 5x - 129 degrees = 2x - 21 degrees; subtract 2x from both sides; 3x - 129 degrees = 21 degrees; add 129 degrees to both sides; 3x = 108 degrees; Divide 3 from both sides; x = 36 degree.

.............................................

Given Solution:

Since the angles are vertical angles, they are equal to each other, therefore, I set them up to be equal to each other and then solved. To check myself, I then substituted my answer in for x on both sides of the equation to make sure they were equal.

Starting with

5x - 129 deg = 2x - 21 deg

subtract 2x from both sides to get

3x - 129 deg = -21 deg. Add 129 deg to both sides to get

3x = 108 deg. Divide both sides by 3 to get

x = 36 deg.

To check substitute 36 deg in for x in the equation and simplify, getting 51 deg = 51 deg.

Question: `q Query 9.1.72 The complement of an angle is 10 deg less that 1/5 of its supplement.

• What is the measure of the angle and how did you get it?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

We say 90 degrees - x = 1/5 (180 degrees - x) - 10 degrees; multiply 5 to both sides; 450 degrees - 5x = 180 degrees - x - 50 degrees; 450 degrees - 5x - 130 degree - x; -4x = -320 degrees; x = 80 degrees.

.............................................

Given Solution:

Let x be the degree measure of the angle. Then the supplement is 180 deg - x; 10 deg less than 1/5 the supplement is 1/5(180 deg - x) - 10 deg. The complement is 90 deg - x.

So the equation is

90 deg - x = 1/5(180 deg - x) - 10 deg. Multiplying both sides by 5 we get

450 deg - 5 x = 180 deg - x - 50 deg so that

450 deg - 5 x = 130 deg - x. Adding x - 450 deg to both sides we get

-4x = -320 deg so that

x = 80 deg.

Checking against the conditions of the problem:

The complement of 80 deg is 10 deg.

The supplement of 80 deg is 100 deg; 1/5 the supplement is 1/5 * 100 deg = 20 deg, so the complement 10 deg is 10 deg less than the supplement 20 deg. **
