Question

when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are a) not congruent. b) congruent. c) supplementary. d) complementary.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Corresponding Angles Postulate in Geometry (a subfield of Mathematics) states that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent. Supplementary angles sum to \(180^\circ\), complementary to \(90^\circ\), and "not congruent" contradicts the postulate. So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B) congruent.
