d. a = a
e. a > b

1. if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then their alternate exterior angles are ___.

a. supplementary
b. adjacent
c. congruent
d. a linear pair
e. complementary

1. if the exterior sides of ___ angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complementary.

a. corresponding
b. adjacent
c. alternate exterior
d. vertical
e. alternate interior

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - pair relationships

For two parallel lines \(l\) and \(m\) cut by a transversal \(n\).

Step2: Analyze question 9

\(\angle6\) and \(\angle8\) are vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent.

Step3: Analyze question 10

\(\angle4\) and \(\angle5\) are alternate interior angles. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.

Step4: Analyze question 11

If \(a = b\), then the substitution property of equality allows either \(a\) or \(b\) to be substituted for the other in any equation.

Step5: Analyze question 12

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate - exterior angles are congruent.

Step6: Analyze question 13

If the exterior sides of adjacent angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complementary.

Answer:

1. C. Vertical angles; congruent
2. A. Alternate interior angles; congruent
3. A. \(a = b\)
4. C. congruent
5. B. adjacent
