Math Problem Statement

Which angles are corresponding angles?

Solution

The problem involves identifying corresponding angles formed by two parallel lines DFDF and GIGI, and a transversal line cutting through them.

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are located in the same relative position at each intersection where the transversal crosses the parallel lines.

In this diagram, the transversal EHEH cuts through the parallel lines DFDF and GIGI. Based on the choices, we need to find a pair of angles that occupy corresponding positions.

The angle pair that is located in corresponding positions is:

  • IHJ\angle IHJ (below line GIGI on the right side of the transversal)
  • FEH\angle FEH (below line DFDF on the right side of the transversal)

Thus, the correct answer is: IHJ and FEH\boxed{\angle IHJ \text{ and } \angle FEH}
