Question

unit 4 hw check: parallel lines & transversals
possible
a) name the transversal connecting ∠1 and ∠5. ____________
b) name the transversal connecting ∠7 and ∠14. ____________
c) name the transversal connecting ∠8 and ∠11. ____________
d) name the transversal connecting ∠6 and ∠15. ____________
e) name the transversal connecting ∠3 and ∠9. ____________
a) line
b) line
c) line
d) line
e) line

Explanation:

Step1: Recall transversal definition

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

Step2: Analyze ∠1 and ∠5

Line $r$ intersects the other lines and connects ∠1 and ∠5.

Step3: Analyze ∠7 and ∠14

Line $q$ intersects the other lines and connects ∠7 and ∠14.

Step4: Analyze ∠8 and ∠11

Line $p$ intersects the other lines and connects ∠8 and ∠11.

Step5: Analyze ∠6 and ∠15

Line $s$ intersects the other lines and connects ∠6 and ∠15.

Step6: Analyze ∠3 and ∠9

Line $p$ intersects the other lines and connects ∠3 and ∠9.

Answer:

a) line $r$
b) line $q$
c) line $p$
d) line $s$
e) line $p$
