h.Is /JKM congruent to /MKL? Explain your reasoning.
Yes. /JKM is congruent to /MKL because these two angles were formed by bisecting a
larger angle. By definition, a bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.

The sum of the measures of a linear pair of angles is 180°. The sum of the measures of
supplementary angles is also 180°. Linear pairs are always supplementary. However, supplementary angles are not always linear pairs because they do not have to be adjacent or share a vertex.

f.Did you need to measure any of the angles to complete parts (b) through
(e)? Explain your reasoning.
No. I did not need to measure the angles. I know that vertical angles are two nonadjacent
angles that are formed by two intersecting lines and that they are congruent. I know that two
adjacent angles that form a straight line are linear pairs, and therefore they are supplementary.
I also know that adjacent angles are angles that share a common vertex and a common side.
