Math Problem Statement

Which angles are alternate interior angles in the diagram?

Solution

The image shows two parallel lines DF\overrightarrow{DF} and GI\overrightarrow{GI} with a transversal cutting through them. The question asks for alternate interior angles.

Understanding Alternate Interior Angles:

Alternate interior angles are the angles that are:

  • On opposite sides of the transversal.
  • Between the two parallel lines.
  • Non-adjacent.

In this diagram:

  • The transversal JH\overrightarrow{JH} intersects the two parallel lines DF\overrightarrow{DF} and GI\overrightarrow{GI}.
  • DEH\angle DEH and IHE\angle IHE are alternate interior angles, as they meet the above conditions (on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines).

Correct Answer:

  • The correct pair of alternate interior angles is DEH\angle DEH and IHE\angle IHE.

Tip:

Remember, alternate interior angles are always congruent if the lines are parallel. This can help you verify your answers!
