Question

Use the figure to complete each part.

T
Q
2
and
R
S
(a) Write two other names for Z 1.
LTQR and LRQT
(b) Name the sides of L2.
(c) Name the vertex of LSQR.

Answer 1

(a) Two other names for Z1 are LTQR and LRQT. In the figure, Z1 refers to the angle at vertex T. When naming angles, we typically use three letters, with the middle letter representing the vertex of the angle. So, in this case, we can name the angle as LTQ or LRQ, with T or R being the vertex.

(b) To name the sides of L2, we need to identify which sides are being referred to. In the figure, L2 refers to the line segment connecting points Q and 2. Therefore, we can name the sides of L2 as side Q2 or side 2Q.

(c) The vertex of LSQR is the common point where the sides L and R intersect. In the figure, this point is labeled as S. So, S is the vertex of LSQR
