🔹 Section 1: Name the Relationship

This section asks you to identify the relationship between two angles labeled a and b in each diagram.

Here’s a breakdown of the correct answers and reasoning:

| Problem | Diagram Description | Relationship | Explanation |
|--------|---------------------|--------------|-------------|
| 1 | Two angles forming a right angle (90°) | Complementary Angles | Complementary angles add up to 90°. |
| 2 | Two angles forming a straight line | Linear Pair (Supplementary) | Linear pairs are adjacent angles that form a straight line → sum = 180° |
| 3 | Two opposite angles formed by intersecting lines | Vertical Angles | Vertical angles are congruent and opposite each other. |
| 4 | Two angles sharing a vertex and side, not overlapping | Adjacent Angles | Adjacent angles share a common side and vertex but do not overlap. |
| 5 | Two angles forming a straight line (on a triangle's extension) | Linear Pair (Supplementary) | Again, they form a straight line → sum = 180° |
| 6 | Two angles sharing a vertex and side, but not forming a line | Adjacent Angles | They touch but don't form a linear pair or vertical pair. |
| 7 | Two opposite angles from intersecting lines | Vertical Angles | Opposite angles formed by intersection. |
| 8 | Two angles forming a right angle at a corner | Complementary Angles | Together make 90° |

🔹 Section 2: Find the Measure of Angle b

Now let’s go through each problem and verify the solutions with explanations.

#### Problem 9
- Given: One angle is 49°, and it forms a right angle with angle *b*.
- So:
$$
b + 49^\circ = 90^\circ \Rightarrow b = 90 - 49 = 41^\circ
$$
✔ Correct: $ b = 41^\circ $

#### Problem 10
- Given: A triangle with one angle 62°, and angle *b* is exterior to it.
- Exterior angle = sum of remote interior angles.
- But here, we see that *b* and 62° are on a straight line → linear pair
$$
b + 62^\circ = 180^\circ \Rightarrow b = 118^\circ
$$
✔ Correct: $ b = 118^\circ $

#### Problem 11
- Given: Vertical angles — one is 53°, so the opposite angle (angle *b*) is equal.
$$
b = 53^\circ
$$
✔ Correct: $ b = 53^\circ $

#### Problem 12
- Right triangle with one angle 24°, and angle *b* is adjacent to it inside the triangle.
- Since it's a right triangle, total = 180°, and one angle is 90°.
$$
b + 24^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \Rightarrow b = 66^\circ
$$
✔ Correct: $ b = 66^\circ $

#### Problem 13
- Straight line with angle *b* and 50° forming a linear pair:
$$
b + 50^\circ = 180^\circ \Rightarrow b = 130^\circ
$$
✔ Correct: $ b = 130^\circ $

#### Problem 14
- Three angles around a point: 116°, 29°, and *b*
- Sum of angles around a point = 360°
$$
b + 116^\circ + 29^\circ = 360^\circ \Rightarrow b = 360 - 145 = 215^\circ
$$
✘ Error! Your answer says $ b = 74^\circ $, which is incorrect.

Let’s recheck:
Wait — perhaps this is a triangle? Or maybe only two angles are shown?

Looking at your work: You wrote:
```
b + 29 = 63 → b = 34
```
But 63 isn’t given. Wait — maybe there's confusion.

Actually, if the angle marked as 116° is adjacent to *b*, and another small angle is 29°, then possibly:
- If those are adjacent angles forming a larger angle, or if it's a triangle...

Wait — looking at the diagram: It seems like an angle split into parts: one part is 116°, another is 29°, and *b* is the remaining part to make a full rotation?

No — better interpretation: Angles around a point, so total = 360°

Given: 116°, 29°, and *b* — but is there more?

Wait — you wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

That suggests that 63° is the total of *b* and 29°, but where did 63 come from?

Possibility: Maybe the angle next to *b* is 116°, and another angle is 29°, and the rest is *b*?

But your calculation shows:
> 360 - 116 - 29 = 215 → but you wrote b = 74

So something is wrong.

Wait — look again: You wrote:
> 360 - 116 = 244
> Then 244 - 29 = 215 → but you said b = 74?

No — perhaps the diagram shows a straight line with three angles?

Alternatively, maybe it's a triangle with angles 116°, 29°, and *b*?

Sum of triangle angles = 180°

Then:
$$
b + 116 + 29 = 180 \Rightarrow b = 180 - 145 = 35^\circ
$$

But you wrote 74°, which is still off.

Wait — you wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

Where does 63 come from?

Unless it's not a triangle, but a different setup.

Let me re-evaluate.

Perhaps the large angle is 116°, and it's split into two parts: one is 29°, and the other is *b*. Then:
$$
b = 116 - 29 = 87^\circ
$$

But you have 74°, which doesn't match.

Alternatively, maybe it's a right angle or something else.

Wait — your handwriting says:
> 360 - 116 = 244
> Then 244 - 29 = 215
> Then b = 74? That doesn’t follow.

Wait — no. You wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

But 63 is not given.

Wait — actually, maybe the total angle is 63°, and it's split into *b* and 29°?

Then:
$$
b + 29 = 63 \Rightarrow b = 34^\circ
$$

But you wrote 74°, which is inconsistent.

Wait — you wrote b = 74° but also showed:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

That can't be.

There’s a mistake in your solution here.

Let’s assume the diagram shows:

- An angle of 116° and 29° adjacent to *b*?
- Or maybe it's a triangle with angles 116°, 29°, and *b*?

Then:
$$
b = 180 - 116 - 29 = 35^\circ
$$

But you wrote 74°.

Wait — perhaps the supplement of 116° is 64°, and 64° - 29° = 35°?

Still not 74.

Wait — could it be that the angle is not 116°, but 116° is the exterior angle?

Or perhaps the angle shown is 116°, and *b* is its supplement?

Then:
$$
b = 180 - 116 = 64^\circ
$$

Still not 74.

Wait — you wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

And then later wrote b = 74°

That’s inconsistent.

Possibly a transcription error.

But based on your work, it seems you meant:
> 360 - 116 = 244
> 244 - 29 = 215 → but that’s not how you got 74

Wait — maybe the total is 136°, and you did:
> b + 63 = 136 → b = 73 ≈ 74?

Ah! Look at Problem 16:

You wrote:
> b + 63 = 136 → b = 73 → rounded to 74?

Yes — so likely Problem 14 has a typo in labeling.

But in Problem 14, you wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

But then wrote b = 74°

That’s clearly a mistake.

Let’s skip and check Problem 15:

#### Problem 15
- Triangle with one angle 90°, another angle 16°, find *b*
- Sum = 180°
$$
b + 90 + 16 = 180 \Rightarrow b = 74^\circ
$$
✔ Correct: $ b = 74^\circ $

So likely, Problem 14 was mislabeled or misread.

But in your work, you wrote b = 74° for Problem 14, but the math shows inconsistency.

Wait — look at the diagram: It might show a triangle with angles 90°, 16°, and *b* → then yes, $ b = 74^\circ $

But you wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

That must be for another problem.

Possibly Problem 14 is not the one with 29° and 63°.

Wait — Problem 16:

> b + 63 = 136 → b = 73 → you wrote 74°

Close enough — probably rounding or typo.

But in Problem 14, you wrote:
> b + 29 = 63 → b = 34

But then wrote b = 74° — contradiction.

So likely, you mixed up problems.

Let’s clarify:

- Problem 15: Triangle with 90° and 16° → $ b = 74^\circ $ ✔
- Problem 16: Possibly angles adding to 136°, one is 63° → $ b = 73^\circ $ → you wrote 74° — close, maybe rounding.

But Problem 14 has no clear explanation.

Let’s move on.

#### Problem 16
- You wrote: $ b + 63 = 136 $ → $ b = 73^\circ $
- You wrote b = 74° — possible rounding or typo.

But 136 - 63 = 73 → so should be 73°

So either:
- The total is 137° → 137 - 63 = 74°
- Or it's approximate.

But likely, your answer should be 73°, not 74°.

So minor error here.

🔹 Section 3: YES or NO Questions (17–26)

These ask whether conclusions can be made based on the diagram.

Let’s go through them.

#### 17. ∠J ≅ ∠D → YES
- From diagram: Marked with same arc → congruent. ✔

#### 18. ∠JAC ≅ ∠DAC → NO
- Not marked as congruent; no info about bisector → cannot conclude. ✔

#### 19. m∠JCA = m∠DCA → NO
- No markings showing equality → cannot assume. ✔

#### 20. m∠JCA + m∠DCA = 180° → YES
- They form a straight line at point C → supplementary. ✔

#### 21. ∠JCA is a right angle → NO
- Not marked as right angle → cannot assume. ✔

#### 22. JC ≅ JD → YES
- Marked with same tick marks → congruent segments. ✔

#### 23. ∠JAE and ∠DAF are supplementary → YES
- They form a linear pair (straight line) → sum = 180°. ✔

#### 24. ∠EAF and ∠JAD are vertical angles → YES
- Opposite angles formed by intersecting lines → vertical angles. ✔

#### 25. AC is the angle bisector of ∠JAD → NO
- Not marked as bisector; no indication of equal angles. ✔

#### 26. C is the midpoint of JD → NO
- Not marked as midpoint; no indication of equal segments. ✔

All answers are correct.

✘ Corrections Needed

- Problem 14: Your work shows conflicting values. If the diagram shows a triangle with 90° and 16°, then $ b = 74^\circ $ — but if it's a different setup, double-check.
- Problem 16: $ 136 - 63 = 73^\circ $, so b = 73°, not 74° — minor error.
