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.
Supplementary angles are any two angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees. Supplementary angle pairs will either be two right angles (both 90 degrees) or be one acute angle and one obtuse angle. If two angles are both supplementary to the same angle, then the two angles are of equal measure. When two parallel lines are crossed by a third line, the same side interior angles will be supplementary. Any two consecutive angles in a parallelogram will also be supplementary.
