Question

1. a fence on a hill uses vertical posts l and m to hold parallel rails n and p. ∠4 and ∠14 are alternate exterior angles. what is the transversal? m 3 4 n 1 2 5 6 12 7 11 p 8 10 13 9 14 15 16 o m o l o n o p

Explanation:

Step1: Recall transversal definition

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more parallel lines.

Step2: Identify relevant lines

Parallel rails are N and P. Angles ∠4 and ∠14 are alternate - exterior angles. The line that intersects N and P to form these angles is the vertical post M.

Answer:

M
