Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the given diagram, and are parallel lines, and a transversal (line ) intersects both of them. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are formed on the same side of the transversal and at corresponding positions relative to the parallel lines.
Let's analyze the options based on the diagram:
- : This is the angle at point , between line and the line segment on the upper-right.
Now, corresponding angles appear in the same relative position at each intersection of the transversal with the two parallel lines.
Checking the options:
-
and : These two angles are at different points (one at and the other at ) but in the same relative position on opposite sides of the transversal. This is correct because corresponding angles are equal in such a situation.
-
and : These angles are not in corresponding positions (they are adjacent). This is incorrect.
-
and : These two angles are on opposite sides of the transversal. This does not meet the definition of corresponding angles. Incorrect.
-
and : These angles are on different sides of the transversal and again, do not match the definition of corresponding angles. Incorrect.
Correct Answer:
- The correct pair of corresponding angles is and .

- What are alternate interior angles, and how are they different from corresponding angles?
- How can you determine whether two lines are parallel using the properties of angles formed by a transversal?
- What are consecutive interior angles, and how do they relate to parallel lines?
- If the lines were not parallel, would the corresponding angles still be equal?
- How do supplementary angles form when a transversal crosses two parallel lines?
Tip: Corresponding angles are always congruent when the lines cut by a transversal are parallel.
