Question

1. two angles that form a linear pair are adjacent. is each statement below a good definition? if not, explain. 24. a cat is an animal with whiskers. 25. the 26. a segment is part of a line. 27. a c 28. opposite rays are two rays that share the same endpoint. 29. per that

Explanation:

• 23: By definition, linear - pair angles are adjacent and supplementary. So this is a correct statement and a good definition.
• 24: Not a good definition. Many animals have whiskers, not just cats.
• 26: A segment is a part of a line with two endpoints. This is a correct statement and a good definition.
• 28: Opposite rays are two rays that share the same endpoint and form a straight line. Just sharing the same endpoint is not enough, so this is not a good definition.

Answer:

• 23. Yes
• 24. No, many animals have whiskers.
• 26. Yes
• 28. No, opposite rays must form a straight - line in addition to sharing an endpoint.
