Math Problem Statement

Classify each pair of angles as one of the following: (a) alternate interior angles, (b) corresponding angles, (c) alternate exterior angles, (d) vertical angles, (e) supplementary angles, or (f) none. Given pairs: 1. ∠9 & ∠16, 2. ∠15 & ∠11, 3. ∠10 & ∠15, 4. ∠12 & ∠15, 5. ∠9 & ∠11, 6. ∠9 & ∠15, 7. ∠13 & ∠14, 8. ∠14 & ∠11.

Solution

Let's classify each pair of angles based on the given options:

  1. ∠9 & ∠16 → (c) Alternate exterior angles
  2. ∠15 & ∠11 → (b) Corresponding angles
  3. ∠10 & ∠15 → (e) Supplementary angles (sum to 180°)
  4. ∠12 & ∠15 → (d) Vertical angles
  5. ∠9 & ∠11 → (f) None
  6. ∠9 & ∠15 → (a) Alternate interior angles
  7. ∠13 & ∠14 → (d) Vertical angles
  8. ∠14 & ∠11 → (e) Supplementary angles (sum to 180°)

Tip:

Always look for "Z" shapes (alternate interior) and "F" shapes (corresponding) when working with parallel lines and a transversal.
