Math Problem Statement

Identify a pair of corresponding angles from the given diagram. Choose between ∠3 and ∠2 or other pairs.

Solution

In the image, the question asks to identify a pair of corresponding angles from the given diagram. Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.

In this diagram, the transversal is the line cutting across two parallel lines. The angles that occupy corresponding positions are:

  • 1\angle 1 and 5\angle 5
  • 2\angle 2 and 6\angle 6
  • 3\angle 3 and 7\angle 7
  • 4\angle 4 and 8\angle 8

From the given options, the answer choices suggest:

  • Option A: 3\angle 3 and 2\angle 2

However, 3\angle 3 and 2\angle 2 are not corresponding angles because they do not occupy the same relative position.

Therefore, Option A is not the correct answer.

Would you like further explanation or any additional questions? Here are some follow-up questions to practice with:

  1. Can you explain why 1\angle 1 and 5\angle 5 are corresponding angles?
  2. How do corresponding angles help in proving lines are parallel?
  3. What is the relationship between alternate interior angles?
  4. What is the sum of two adjacent angles on a straight line?
  5. Can you name the angles that are vertically opposite in the diagram?

Tip: Corresponding angles are congruent when the lines are parallel!
