Math Problem Statement

Select the transversal connecting ∠4 and ∠5. Then classify the relationship between ∠4 and ∠5 as alternate interior, alternate exterior, corresponding, or consecutive interior angles.

Solution

To analyze this diagram and answer the question:

  1. Select the transversal connecting ∠4 and ∠5: The transversal that intersects both ∠4 and ∠5 is line dd.

  2. Classify the relationship between ∠4 and ∠5:

    • Both angles, ∠4 and ∠5, are on opposite sides of the transversal dd and are between the parallel lines aa and bb.
    • Thus, ∠4 and ∠5 are alternate interior angles.

Summary:

  • Transversal: dd
  • Relationship: Alternate interior angles
