Math Problem Statement

Complete the statements about corresponding, consecutive interior, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles based on the given diagram.

Solution

Let’s analyze the problem and identify the corresponding angles, consecutive interior angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles based on the diagram.

Explanation:

In the diagram, we have two sets of parallel lines:

  • Line EGEG is parallel to line ABAB.
  • Line DFDF is parallel to line HJHJ.

The transversal lines intersecting these parallel lines help us identify angle pairs.

25. BCG\angle BCG and ______ are corresponding angles.

  • Corresponding angles are those that lie on the same side of the transversal and in the same relative position.
  • BCG\angle BCG is located on the lower side of the transversal CBCB.
  • The corresponding angle would be FCJ\angle FCJ.

Answer: BCG\angle BCG and FCJ\angle FCJ are corresponding angles.


26. BCG\angle BCG and ______ are consecutive interior angles.

  • Consecutive (or same side) interior angles are on the same side of the transversal but inside the parallel lines.
  • The consecutive interior angle for BCG\angle BCG would be JCA\angle JCA.

Answer: BCG\angle BCG and JCA\angle JCA are consecutive interior angles.


27. FCJ\angle FCJ and ______ are alternate interior angles.

  • Alternate interior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines.
  • For FCJ\angle FCJ, the alternate interior angle would be BCG\angle BCG.

Answer: FCJ\angle FCJ and BCG\angle BCG are alternate interior angles.


28. FCA\angle FCA and ______ are alternate exterior angles.

  • Alternate exterior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the parallel lines.
  • For FCA\angle FCA, the alternate exterior angle would be BGH\angle BGH.

Answer: FCA\angle FCA and BGH\angle BGH are alternate exterior angles.

  1. What are the corresponding angles of DCF\angle DCF?
  2. Identify a pair of alternate interior angles involving EDC\angle EDC.
  3. What are the consecutive interior angles of ACB\angle ACB?
  4. Find another pair of alternate exterior angles in the diagram.
  5. Explain the relationship between corresponding angles and alternate exterior angles in parallel line configurations.

Tip: When working with transversals, always remember that parallel lines give rise to predictable angle relationships such as corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles!
