Two identical laptops are shown at the right. Top edge In which laptop is the distance from the top edge of the screen to the front edge of the keyboard greater? Explain. 45 Laptop B; the lengths of the laptopsвЂ™ keyboards and screens are the same. Laptop B is open wider, so the hinge angle is greater than it is for Laptop A.

Explain. Path A; the paths have two pairs of congruent sides, but Path A angles off at 268, while Path B angles off at 258. The longer side is the one opposite the greater angle. i B Path 25 26 Pat hA 12. m/U and m/X mlU R mlX 11. m/M and m/R mlM S mlR M N U 4 V O 7 P 10.5 9 4 8 2m i Write an inequality relating the given angle measures. 4 2m 11 W X Q 9 4 Y R 10.5 12 Z MN , MO, PR, and QR are 9. congruent u NO S PQ Prentice Hall Foundations Geometry вЂў Teaching Resources Copyright В© by Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.
