Question
Determine whether each conclusion is true or false. If false, provide acounterexample.1. Given: โ ๐ and โ ๐ are complementary.Conclusion: โ ๐ and โ ๐ are both acute.2. Given: ๐ is a midpoint of ๐ด๐ต.Conclusion: ๐ด๐ โ ๐๐ต.3. Given: ๐, ๐, and ๐ are points on a plane.Conclusion: ๐, ๐, and ๐ are collinear.4. Given: โ 1 and โ 2 are supplementary.Conclusion: โ 1 and โ 2 form a linear pair.
Solution
-
True. Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. Since an acute angle is any angle less than 90 degrees, both โ ๐ and โ ๐ must be acute for their sum to be 90 degrees.
-
True. By definition, a midpoint divides a line segment into two equal parts. Therefore, if ๐ is the midpoint of ๐ด๐ต, then ๐ด๐ is congruent to ๐๐ต.
-
False. Points ๐, ๐, and ๐ being on the same plane does not necessarily mean they are collinear. Collinear means that the points lie on the same line. For example, points could form a triangle and still be on the same plane but not be collinear.
-
True. Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees. A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The angles of a linear pair are always supplementary, so if โ 1 and โ 2 are supplementary, they form a linear pair.
