Math Problem Statement

Which angles are alternate exterior angles in the diagram?

Solution

The problem asks to identify which angles are alternate exterior angles in the diagram.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

  1. Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside the parallel lines and are on opposite sides of the transversal. The diagram seems to show two lines intersected by a transversal.
  2. In the diagram:
    • The transversal is RORO, intersecting the lines QNQN and TSTS.
    • Angles outside the parallel lines QNQN and TSTS include QRT\angle QRT, NOM\angle NOM, SRT\angle SRT, and POR\angle POR.

Identifying Alternate Exterior Angle Pairs:

  • QRT\angle QRT (on the left side of the transversal) and NOM\angle NOM (on the right side of the transversal) are alternate exterior angles.

So, the correct pair of alternate exterior angles is:

  • QRT\angle QRT and NOM\angle NOM.

Here are five related questions you might find helpful:

  1. What are alternate interior angles, and how do they differ from exterior angles?
  2. Can there be more than one pair of alternate exterior angles in a diagram?
  3. How can you use the properties of alternate angles to solve for unknown angle measures?
  4. What is the relationship between corresponding angles and alternate exterior angles?
  5. Are alternate exterior angles always congruent? Why or why not?

Tip: Always remember, alternate exterior angles are located outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.
