Math Problem Statement
Using the diagram, classify the angle pairs.
Solution
To solve this problem, I'll classify the angle pairs based on the diagram provided.
Given the diagram:
-
and :
- These angles are on the opposite sides of the transversal and are inside the two parallel lines, making them alternate interior angles.
-
and :
- These angles are outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal, making them alternate exterior angles.
-
and :
- These angles are on the same side of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, making them consecutive exterior angles.
-
and :
- These angles are corresponding positions on the parallel lines cut by the transversal, making them corresponding angles.
-
and :
- These angles are inside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal, making them consecutive interior angles.
-
and :
- These angles are on the opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, making them alternate exterior angles.
So, the classifications should be as follows:
- Alternate Interior: and
- Alternate Exterior: and
- Consecutive Exterior: and
- Corresponding: and
- Consecutive Interior: and
- Alternate Exterior: and
