Math Problem Statement

Give a pair of corresponding angles, a pair of alternate interior angles, and a pair of alternate exterior angles.

Solution

Let's analyze the image, which shows two parallel lines, mm and nn, cut by a transversal line, aa. The angles formed at the intersections are labeled from 1 to 8. Here's how we can classify the angles as per the question:

  1. Corresponding angles: Corresponding angles are in the same relative position at each intersection.

    • A pair of corresponding angles: 1\angle 1 and 5\angle 5.
  2. Alternate interior angles: These are non-adjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines.

    • A pair of alternate interior angles: 3\angle 3 and 6\angle 6.
  3. Alternate exterior angles: These are non-adjacent angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the parallel lines.

    • A pair of alternate exterior angles: 1\angle 1 and 8\angle 8.

Here is the filled-in answer:

  • (a) Corresponding angles: 1\angle 1 and 5\angle 5
  • (b) Alternate interior angles: 3\angle 3 and 6\angle 6
  • (c) Alternate exterior angles: 1\angle 1 and 8\angle 8

Here are 5 related questions you might find interesting:

  1. What other pairs of corresponding angles can be found in this diagram?
  2. Can you identify another pair of alternate interior angles?
  3. Which angles are congruent to 4\angle 4 based on the properties of transversals?
  4. How do you prove that lines mm and nn are parallel based on the angle relationships?
  5. What is the relationship between 2\angle 2 and 8\angle 8?

Tip: When working with parallel lines and transversals, always remember that corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles are congruent.
