Question

10 two parallel lines and a transversal are shown below. classify angle 5 and angle 3. a alternate exterior b alternate interior c consecutive interior d vertical

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - pair definitions

Alternate exterior angles are outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Alternate interior angles are between the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Consecutive interior angles are between the parallel lines and on the same - side of the transversal. Vertical angles are opposite each other at the intersection of two lines.

Step2: Analyze the position of ∠5 and ∠3

Angle 5 and angle 3 are between the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Answer:

B. Alternate Interior
