Question

problem 3: (first taught in lesson 24) complete this sentence with the best of the choices given. if parallel lines are cut by a transversal, their alternate exterior angles are _________. after you pick your answer press go. a. a linear pair b. congruent c. supplementary d. adjacent e. complementary

Explanation:

When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate - exterior angles are equal in measure, which means they are congruent. A linear pair of angles are supplementary and adjacent. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, adjacent angles share a common side and vertex, and complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. None of these other angle - relationships apply to alternate exterior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Answer:

B. congruent
