Consider an overlapping set of four circles A, B, C, D. One would like to position the circles so that every possible subset of the circles forms a region, e. g., four regions each contained in just one (different) circle, six regions formed by the intersection of two circles (AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD), four regions formed by the intersection of three of the four circles, and one region formed by the intersection of all four circles. Prove that it is not possible to have such a set of 15 bounded regions.

option: d is correct

step-by-step explanation:

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
