To get the most from a direct box, your mixing board must have balanced mic and/or line inputs! (Note that some mixers offer both XLR and 1/4 balanced inputs -- check your manual.) Use a direct box if you are experiencing hum, buzz, or radio interference, or if your instrument's cable is longer than 20 feet.
When a transversal (any line that passes through two parallel lines) cuts two parallel lines then the angles that correspond to the similar positions (angles in the matching corners) with respect to either of the parallel lines and lie on the same side of the transversal are called the Corresponding angles.
You learned that complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees, supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees, vertical angles are opposite angles at an intersection of two straight lines, and adjacent angles are two angles that are next to each other.
