Question

architecture for safety reasons, a construction worker wants to make sure two studs for a wall are parallel. she measures the corresponding angles formed by the floor and the two studs. she finds that the measures of the angles are both 96°. if the studs are parallel, she can leave them as they are. otherwise, they need to be fixed. will the worker need to fix the studs? explain. choose the correct answer below. a. no, because the corresponding angles are congruent. b. yes, because the corresponding angles are not congruent. c. yes, because the corresponding angles do not sum to 180°. d. no, because the corresponding angles sum to 180°. (the figure is not to scale.)

Explanation:

Dos ángulos correspondientes iguales indican que las líneas (los studs en este caso) son paralelas. Aquí, los ángulos son congruentes (ambos 96°), lo que significa que los studs ya son paralelos y no necesitan ser arreglados.

Answer:

A. No, because the corresponding angles are congruent.
