A town planner wants to build two new streets, Elm Street and Garden Road, to connect parallel streets Maple Drive and Pine Avenue. Trapezoid E F G H is shown. F G is Maple Drive, G H is Garden road, E H is Pine avenue, and E F is Elm Street. Sides F G and E H are parallel. Angle G is 108 degrees. In trapezoid EFGH, EF ≅ HG. What is the measure of the angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue? 54° 72° 108° 144°

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

A town planner wants to build two new streets, Elm Street and Garden Road, to connect parallel streets Maple Drive and Pine Avenue.

We are also told that there is a  Trapezoid EFGH with EH as the Pine avenue and EF as the Elm street.

However, side FG and EH are parallel.

∠G = 108°

From the property of parallel lines :

since FG || EH

Then  ∠G = ∠H  = 108°  (i.e corresponding angle will also be equal)

The required angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue would be interior angles +  180°  given that  alternate angles are also equal.

The required angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue = 180° - 108°

The required angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue = 72°

step-by-step explanation:

the options are kind of confusing. i can tell you what i see going on here when i look at the graph.

the class and exam medians are closely related, and it looks like the low outlier on the exam did pull the median lower. [tex][/tex]
