Math Problem Statement

   Which of the following pair of angles are corresponding angles?

A

1 and 3

B

1 and 5

C

3 and 5

D

5 and 4

Solution

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and in similar positions relative to the two intersected lines.

To determine which pair of angles are corresponding, let's assume the scenario involves two parallel lines cut by a transversal. The angles are labeled as follows:

  • Angles 1 and 2 are at the first intersection.
  • Angles 3 and 4 are at the second intersection.
  • Angles 5, 6, 7, and 8 are the other angles formed at the intersections.

Given this setup:

  • Angles 1 and 5 are in corresponding positions relative to the two parallel lines and the transversal.

Thus, the correct answer is:

B. 1 and 5
