58. In the figure below, transversal r crosses bothp andq, and a° and b° are measures of the indicated angles, both between 0° and 180° . Lines p and q will cross somewhere to the left of transversal r (that is, on the side opposite the indicated angles). Which of the following statements best expresses a true relationship between a and b for all possible positions of transversal r ?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is K
Explanation
Two parallel lines are intersected by a third line, and the interior angles on the same side are complementary. Since the two lines p and q are not parallel and will intersect on the left, a+b is greater than 180 degrees, so choose K
