Given ABC=65 and BCD=105. Is it possible that Line AB intersects line CD​

Sagot :

Given:

[tex]m\angle ABC=65^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle BCD=105^\circ[/tex]

To find:

Whether it is possible that Line AB intersects line CD​.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]m\angle ABC=65^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle BCD=105^\circ[/tex]

The angles [tex]m\angle ABC[/tex] and [tex]m\angle BCD[/tex] are same sided interior angles.

If two lines are parallel and a transversal line intersect them, then the same sided interior angles are supplementary angles and their sum is 180 degrees.

[tex]m\angle ABC+m\angle BCD=65^\circ+105^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABC+m\angle BCD=170^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ABC+m\angle BCD\neq 180^\circ[/tex]

So, the lines AB and CD are not parallel to each other.

Therefore, the intersection of lines AB and CD is possible.
