Math Problem Statement

Which angle pairs include the named angle? a. ∠4 b. ∠7

Solution

The image shows a problem involving angles formed by two parallel lines intersected by a transversal. The problem asks to identify which angle pairs include the named angles.

Part (a) ∠4:

To determine angle pairs for ∠4, we should identify its relationships with other angles in the diagram. Key angle pair types are:

  • Corresponding angles (angles in the same relative position)
  • Alternate interior angles (angles on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines)
  • Alternate exterior angles (angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the parallel lines)
  • Same-side (consecutive) interior angles (on the same side of the transversal inside the parallel lines)
  • Vertical angles (opposite each other at an intersection).

Looking at ∠4:

  • Corresponding angle: ∠8 (same relative position)
  • Alternate interior angle: ∠6
  • Same-side interior angle: ∠5
  • Vertical angle: ∠3

Thus, the angle pairs including ∠4 are:

  • ∠4 and ∠8 (corresponding)
  • ∠4 and ∠6 (alternate interior)
  • ∠4 and ∠5 (same-side interior)
  • ∠4 and ∠3 (vertical)

Part (b) ∠7:

Similarly, for ∠7:

  • Corresponding angle: ∠3
  • Alternate exterior angle: ∠1
  • Same-side interior angle: ∠6
  • Vertical angle: ∠8

The angle pairs including ∠7 are:

  • ∠7 and ∠3 (corresponding)
  • ∠7 and ∠1 (alternate exterior)
  • ∠7 and ∠6 (same-side interior)
  • ∠7 and ∠8 (vertical)

Would you like further explanation or details on any of these angle relationships?

Here are 5 related questions for practice:

  1. What are the corresponding angles to ∠2?
  2. Identify the alternate exterior angle of ∠5.
  3. What angle is vertically opposite to ∠6?
  4. Are ∠1 and ∠5 alternate interior angles? Why or why not?
  5. What are the same-side interior angles with respect to ∠8?

Tip: Always look at how angles relate across the transversal line to find corresponding and alternate pairs.
