question 2 of 12
in the straightedge and compass construction of the parallel line below, which of the following reasons can you use to prove that (overline{jk}) and (overline{ln}) are parallel?
a. (angle mjkcongangle mkj) by construction.
b. (angle mjkcongangle nlj) by construction.
c. (angle mlncongangle mjk) by construction.
d. (angle mlncongangle mnl) by construction.

Explanation:

When constructing parallel lines, corresponding - angles are made congruent. ∠MLN and ∠MJK are corresponding angles.

Answer:

C. ∠MLN ≅ ∠MJK by construction.
