A carpenter cut the top section of a window frame with a 37-degree angle on each end. the side pieces each have a 50 degree single cut at their top sides. Will the side pieces of the frame be parallel?
PLEASE HELP
Incorrect it equals 87 and that's not a full answer
The question was --
Will the side pieces of the frame be parallel?
the answer is no.
I assume you can figure out why ...
I will be happy to clarify if you cannot.
go to sleep
does 37+50 = 90?
okay- then ...
no
what do you mean no...
To determine if the side pieces of the window frame will be parallel, we need to analyze the angles involved.
First, let's consider the top section of the window frame. The carpenter cut it with a 37-degree angle on each end. Since the two cuts have the same angle, this means the top section is cut at a perfectly straight angle.
Next, we move on to the side pieces of the frame. Each side piece has a single cut at the top side with a 50-degree angle.
To determine if the side pieces will be parallel, we need to compare the angles. If the top section and the side pieces have the same angle, then the side pieces will be parallel to each other.
However, since the top section has a 37-degree angle and the side pieces have a 50-degree angle, we can conclude that the side pieces will not be parallel. The difference in their angles will cause the side pieces to taper inward and not be parallel to each other.
In summary, the side pieces of the window frame will not be parallel due to the difference in the angles (37 degrees vs. 50 degrees).
