Q:

On the attached drawing what is the name for Angle LHJ? Obtuse, acute, complementary or right?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Right (Last option)Step-by-step explanation: As you can see in the figure, the parallel lines AD and GJ are intersected  by two lines. The line EL intersects the parallel lines and there are two angles that are formed by this intersections which are located on the exterior of AD and GJ, but  on opposite sides of EL, (these angles are called "Alternate exterior angles" and they are congruent), which are:  ∠LHJ and ∠EBA You can observe that the angle ∠EBA is indicated with a square. This means that the measure of that angle is 90° (Right angle). Therefore, if ∠EBA=90°, then ∠LHJ =90°
