Question

decide whether pairs of angles ∠1 and ∠2, ∠4 and ∠3, and ∠5 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles, same - side interior angles, corresponding angles, or alternate exterior angles.
choose the statement that correctly describes angles 1 and 2.
a. angles 1 and 2 are corresponding angles.
b. angles 1 and 2 are alternate interior angles.
c. angles 1 and 2 are alternate exterior angles.
d. angles 1 and 2 are same - side interior angles.

Explanation:

Corresponding angles are in the same relative position at each intersection where a straight - line crosses two others. Alternate interior angles are between the two crossed lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Alternate exterior angles are outside the two crossed lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Same - side interior angles are between the two crossed lines and on the same side of the transversal. For ∠1 and ∠2, they are on the outside of the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Answer:

C. Angles 1 and 2 are alternate exterior angles.
