As exercise physiologist Harry Pino tells io9, muscle cells don't actually convert into fat, which is a common myth. What really happens is that the muscle cells - which are completely different than fat cells - become smaller, because now you donât have a demand of power and strength - theyâre not growing, he says.
The composition of two reflections across two parallel lines is equivalent to a translation. The translation vector is perpendicular to the lines. The length of the translation vector is twice the distance between the lines. The composition of two reflections across two intersecting lines is equivalent to a rotation. The center of rotation is the intersection of the lines. The angle of rotation is twice the measure of the angle formed by the lines.
Two angles are said to be supplementary when the sum of the two angles is 180Â°. If we have two parallel lines and have a third line that crosses them as in the ficture below - the crossing line is called a transversal. When a transversal intersects with two parallel lines eight angles are produced. The eight angles will together form four pairs of corresponding angles. Angles 1 and 5 constitutes one of the pairs. Corresponding angles are congruent. All angles that have the same position with regards to the parallel lines and the transversal are corresponding pairs e.g. 3 + 7, 4 + 8 and 2 + 6. Angles that are in the area between the parallel lines like angle 2 and 8 above are called interior angles whereas the angles that are on the outside of the two parallel lines like 1 and 6 are called exterior angles. Angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate angles e.g. 1 + 8. All angles that are either exterior angles, interior angles, alternate angles or corresponding angles are all congruent. Example. The picture above shows two parallel lines with a transversal.
