The homework asks to identify the relationship between pairs of angles labeled as \(a\) and \(b\) in two diagrams, using terms like complementary, supplementary, corresponding, or alternate exterior.

### For diagram 1:
- This diagram shows two intersecting lines, forming four angles, and angles \(a\) and \(b\) appear to be non-adjacent angles formed by the crossing of the two lines.
- **Relationship**: Angles \(a\) and \(b\) are **vertical angles**. Vertical angles are always equal to each other, and they do not fall under complementary, supplementary, corresponding, or alternate exterior categories, but in many curricula, they are grouped as related angles due to their equality.

### For diagram 3:
- In this diagram, two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Angles \(a\) and \(b\) are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines.
- **Relationship**: Angles \(a\) and \(b\) are **alternate exterior angles**. Alternate exterior angles are congruent when the two lines crossed by the transversal are parallel.

Would you like further explanations on these angle relationships? 

Here are five related questions to explore further:
1. What are the properties of vertical angles?
2. Can vertical angles be complementary or supplementary?
3. What is the relationship between alternate interior angles and alternate exterior angles?
4. How do corresponding angles differ from alternate angles?
5. In what cases are angles complementary or supplementary?

**Tip**: When dealing with parallel lines and transversals, identifying whether angles are inside or outside the parallel lines helps in determining the correct relationship (interior vs. exterior).

Identify the relationship between angles a and b in the diagrams (complementary, supplementary, corresponding, or alternate exterior).
