Math Problem Statement

Decide whether pairs of angles 1 and 2, 6 and 1, and 5 and 6 are alternate interior angles, same-side interior angles, corresponding angles, or alternate exterior angles. Choose the statements that correctly describe the relationships between these angles based on the given image.

Solution

Let's analyze the questions based on the provided image.

For angles 11 and 22:

The options given are:

  • Same-side interior angles
  • Alternate exterior angles
  • Alternate interior angles
  • Corresponding angles

Since angles 11 and 22 are on opposite sides of the transversal and both are exterior angles, they form an alternate exterior angle pair. Therefore, the correct answer for the first question is: B. Angles 1 and 2 are alternate exterior angles.

For angles 66 and 11:

The options given are:

  • Corresponding angles
  • Alternate exterior angles
  • Same-side interior angles
  • Alternate interior angles

In this case, angles 66 and 11 are on opposite sides of the transversal and on the interior of the parallel lines, forming an alternate interior angle pair. Hence, the correct answer for the second question is: D. Angles 6 and 1 are alternate interior angles.

Would you like further details on why these angle relationships are categorized this way or have any other questions?

Tip:

When analyzing angles formed by a transversal across parallel lines, remember that alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are always congruent, while same-side interior angles are supplementary (sum to 180180^\circ).
