37. Reflexive: a || a; false; any line intersects itself.
Symmetric: If a || b, then b || a; true; b and a are coplanar and do not intersect.
Transitive: In general, if a || b, and b || c, then a || c; true; however, when a || b, and b || a, it does not follow that a || a. s

[1] correct answer (lines a and b are not ||), without work shown
56. m 1 = 70 since it is a suppl. of the 110° . m 2 = 110 since same-side int. are suppl.
57. m 1 = 66 because alt. int. are . m 2 = 180 – 94 = 86 because same-side int. are suppl.
58. If you are west of the Mississippi River, then you are in Nebraska. Original statement is true, converse is false.
59. If a circle has a radius of 4 cm, then it has a diameter of 8 cm. Both are true.
60. If same-side int. are suppl., then a line intersects a pair of ||
lines. Both are true.
61. If you form the past tense of a verb, then you add ed to the verb. Original statement is false, converse is false.
