Line n line BC. Which statements about the figure must be true? Choose all answers that are correct. A. m 1 = 45 B. m 2 + m 3 = 84 C. m 2= 45 D. m 3 = 45 class=

Verified Answer :

Let's take a look! 

A. is wrong because, for any given straight line, all the angles on one side add up to 180. we know that n is a line because they said it was in the directions. to calculate angle 1, we take 45 +39 and subtract the answer from 180. Angle 1= 96 degrees

B. is correct, because there is a property that says when a transversal crosses two parallel lines, there will be corresponding with the same degrees. Because of this, we know that angle 2= 45 and angle 3=39. 45 +39 = 84, so B is true

C is also correct, due to the property/theorem/thingy previously mentioned that your math book should list somewhere if you are learning this. 

D is incorrect, because of again aforementioned theorem. angle 3 + 39 degrees

angle 2=45 degree
and angle 3=39 degree
because they are alternate interior angles
so B is a correct answer ->45+39=84
