Q37 - Geometry

Question

Given the diagram, state whether you can reach the conclusion shown.

$\angle AOB$is a straight angle.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

We can conclude that $\angle AOB$ is a straight angle.

Step 1. Observe the given diagram.

Step 2. Highlight the ∠AOB in the given diagram.

Step 3. Explain whether you can reach the given conclusion.

A straight angle is an angle which measures exactly $180°$. Rays $\overline{OA}$ and $\overline{OB}$ point in opposite directions. Therefore, they are $180°$ apart and form a straight angle.

Therefore, $\angle AOB$ is a straight angle.
