Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image asks to identify the pair of angles as alternate interior, alternate exterior, corresponding, or vertical. The angles specified are and .
Based on the diagram:
- The two lines and are parallel.
- A transversal cuts through the two parallel lines, creating the labeled angles.
Angle Pair and
- is inside the parallel lines, and is also inside but on the opposite side of the transversal.
- These angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines, which classifies them as alternate interior angles.
So, and are alternate interior angles.
Would you like a more detailed explanation of alternate interior angles, or do you have any other questions?
Relative questions:
- What are corresponding angles, and how do they differ from alternate interior angles?
- Can vertical angles also occur in this type of diagram? If so, which ones are vertical?
- How do alternate exterior angles differ from alternate interior angles?
- How can you identify corresponding angles in this figure?
- What is the relationship between the measure of alternate interior angles when the lines are parallel?
Tip:
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are always congruent (equal in measure).
