A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart and creates a perpendicular to the line that connects these two stakes. He needs to place a third stake 100 ft away that is equidistant to the two original stakes. To apply the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, the land surveyor would need to identify a line parallel to the line connecting the two stakes
a line that is parallel to the perpendicular line
the midpoint along the line connecting the two stakes
the midpoint along any line that is perpendicular to the line connecting the two stakes

66answer:

step-by-step explanation:

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
