Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the diagram, and are parallel lines, and the question asks for alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles occur when two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, and they lie on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines.
Here, acts as the transversal between the parallel lines and .
The correct pair of alternate interior angles are:
- (on the lower side of the transversal)
- (on the upper side of the transversal).
So the correct answer is:

- How do you prove that alternate interior angles are equal when lines are parallel?
- Which angles are supplementary in this diagram?
- What is the relationship between and ?
- Can and be considered parallel?
Tip: Always look for the transversal when identifying alternate interior angles between parallel lines.
