17.

Parallel lines l1 and l2 are cut by transversal t. Which of the following statements are true?

Statement I: Vertical angles are congruent, so 5a = 115.

Statement II: Alternate interior angles are congruent, so b - 12 = 65.

Statement III: Corresponding angles are congruent and linear angle pairs have a sum of 180°, so 5a + 65 = 180.

18.

Find the value of a and b.

a)

a = 77; b = 23

b)

a = 23; b = 77

a = 65; b = 13

d)

a = 13; b = 65

19.

Lines a and b are cut by transversal t. Which of the following could NOT be used to determine the value of x?

a)

Alternate exterior angles are congruent, therefore 4x = 104.

b)

Corresponding angles are congruent, therefore 2x + 42 = 76

c)

Vertical angles are congruent, therefore 4x = 2x + 42

d)

Angles that lie on the same line are supplementary, therefore x + 50 + 104 = 180.

x = 42, because vertical angles are congruent

b)

x = 42, because alternate interior angles are congruent

c)

x = 42, because alternate exterior angles are congruent

d)

x = 42, because corresponding angles are congruent
