Explanation
Same-side interior angles are supplementary, so the target is \(180-34=146\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Subtract a same-side interior measure from 180.
Question 35
Explanation
Same-side interior angles are supplementary, so the target is \(180-47=133\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Subtract a same-side interior measure from 180.
Question 36
Explanation

- Reasoning
Subtract a same-side interior measure from 180.
Question 37
Explanation
Same-side interior angles are supplementary, so the target is \(180-68=112\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Subtract a same-side interior measure from 180.
Question 38
Explanation

- Reasoning
Subtract a same-side interior measure from 180.
Question 39
Explanation

Question 40
Explanation
Same-side interior angles are supplementary, so the target is \(180-127=53\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Subtract a same-side interior measure from 180.
Question 41
Explanation
Angle 8 corresponds to angle 2, so angle 8 is 38 degrees. Angles 7 and 8 form a linear pair, so angle 7 is 142 degrees.
- Reasoning
Transfer the acute value, then use a supplement at the target intersection.
Question 42
Explanation
Angles 4 and 5 are same-side interior, so they sum to 180; \(180-124=56\).
- Reasoning
Recognize the same-side interior pair before subtracting.
Question 43
Explanation
Equality gives \(5x+11=8x-34\), so \(x=15\) and each corresponding angle is 86 degrees. An adjacent linear-pair angle is \(180-86=94\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Solve the congruent pair, then supplement for the adjacent target.
Question 44
Explanation
They sum to 180: \(8x+20=180\), so \(x=20\). The angles are 67 and 113 degrees.
- Reasoning
Use a 180-degree sum, then evaluate both expressions before choosing the smaller.
Question 45
Explanation
The theorem makes \(t\perp m\), so the angle is 90 degrees. Its bisector creates two 45-degree angles.
- Reasoning
Transfer perpendicularity, then halve the right angle.
Question 46
Explanation
The forward theorems in this lesson require a parallel condition; visual appearance is insufficient.
- Reasoning
Check givens before applying a theorem.
Question 47
Explanation
Same-side interior angles are supplementary, so \(180-64=116\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Use 180 for same-side interior, not equality.
Question 48
Explanation
Angles 1 and 2 form a linear pair, so nine ratio parts equal 180 and each part is 20. Angle 2 is 40 degrees, and corresponding angle 6 is also 40 degrees.
- Reasoning
Use the linear-pair sum to scale the ratio, then transfer the matching angle.
Question 49
Explanation
Angles 3 and 6 are same-side interior: \(2y+14+4y+10=180\), so \(y=26\). Angle 6 is 114 degrees; angle 5 is vertical to angle 7 and corresponding to angle 1, but directly it is alternate interior with angle 3, so it equals \(2(26)+14=66\) degrees.
- Reasoning
Solve the supplementary pair, then use alternate-interior congruence for the target.
Question 50
Explanation
Perpendicularity transfers to the second parallel line, and each intersection of perpendicular lines forms four right angles, for eight total.
- Reasoning
Apply the theorem at both intersections and count four angles per intersection.
