Step1: Identify angle - angle relationships
In the first part, if \(m\angle2 = 70^{\circ}\), and assuming \(r\parallel s\) and \(q\) is a transversal:
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle3\) are vertical - angles. Vertical angles are congruent. So \(m\angle3=m\angle2 = 70^{\circ}\).
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle5\) are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles of parallel lines are congruent. So \(m\angle5=m\angle2 = 70^{\circ}\).
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle8\) are alternate - exterior angles. Alternate - exterior angles of parallel lines are congruent. So \(m\angle8=m\angle2 = 70^{\circ}\).
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle1\) are supplementary (linear pair). So \(m\angle1 = 180 - m\angle2=180 - 70=110^{\circ}\).
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle4\) are vertical angles. So \(m\angle4=m\angle2 = 70^{\circ}\).
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle6\) are alternate - interior angles. So \(m\angle6=m\angle2 = 70^{\circ}\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\) when \(m\angle1 = 10x + 7\) and \(m\angle8 = 12x-13\)
Since \(\angle1\) and \(\angle8\) are supplementary (linear - pair of angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines), we have the equation \((10x + 7)+(12x-13)=180\).
First, combine like terms: \(10x+12x+7 - 13=180\), which simplifies to \(22x-6 = 180\).
Add 6 to both sides: \(22x=180 + 6=186\).
Divide both sides by 22: \(x=\frac{186}{22}=\frac{93}{11}\approx8.45\).
Step3: Solve for \(x\) in other angle - pair equations
For the pair \(5x + 10\) and \(6x-5\) (assuming they are vertical angles, so they are congruent):
Set up the equation \(5x + 10=6x-5\).
Subtract \(5x\) from both sides: \(10=x - 5\).
Add 5 to both sides: \(x = 15\).
For the pair \(3x + 10\) and \(2x+15\) (assuming they are vertical angles, so they are congruent):
Set up the equation \(3x + 10=2x+15\).
Subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \(x+10 = 15\).
Subtract 10 from both sides: \(x = 5\).
For the pair \(3x + 20\) and \(5x-8\) (assuming they are vertical angles, so they are congruent):
Set up the equation \(3x + 20=5x-8\).
Subtract \(3x\) from both sides: \(20 = 2x-8\).
Add 8 to both sides: \(28 = 2x\).
Divide both sides by 2: \(x = 14\).
For the pair \(2x + 24\) and \(15x\) (assuming they are vertical angles, so they are congruent):
Set up the equation \(2x+24 = 15x\).
Subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \(24 = 13x\).
Divide both sides by 13: \(x=\frac{24}{13}\approx1.85\).
Step4: Determine triangle congruence
For problem 12:
If we assume we have two right - angled triangles \(\triangle FGI\) and \(\triangle HGI\) with \(GI\) as a common side, and right - angles at \(\angle FIG\) and \(\angle HIG\), and if we know some other side lengths or angle measures. If we have the hypotenuse and one leg equal (HL - Hypotenuse - Leg theorem), we need more information to determine congruence. Without further information, we say "not possible".
For problem 13:
If we assume we have two triangles \(\triangle NOP\) and \(\triangle QOP\) with \(OP\) as a common side, and we know some side - side - side (SSS) or side - angle - side (SAS) or other congruence criteria information. If we have \(NO = QO\), \(NP = QP\) and \(OP\) is common, then \(\triangle NOP\cong\triangle QOP\) by SSS.
For problem 14:
If we assume we have two triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle EDC\) with \(\angle ACB=\angle ECD\) (vertical angles), and if we know some side - angle - side (SAS) or angle - side - angle (ASA) or other congruence criteria information. If we have \(AC = EC\) and \(BC = DC\), then \(\triangle ABC\cong\triangle EDC\) by SAS.
