Question
select all the pairs of alternate exterior angles.
∠kli and ∠mln
∠hil and ∠mli
∠jil and ∠mli
∠mln and ∠hig
Step1: Recall Alternate Exterior Angles Definition
Alternate exterior angles are formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines (or any two lines). They lie outside the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.
Step2: Analyze Each Pair
- ∠KLI and ∠MLN: ∠KLI is outside the two vertical lines (KM and HJ) and on one side of transversal NG. ∠MLN is outside and on the opposite side? Wait, no, re - check. Wait, actually, let's look at the lines. The two lines are KM (with points K, L, M) and HJ (with points H, I, J). The transversal is NG (with points N, L, I, G).
- ∠KLI: outside the region between KM and HJ, on the upper - left of transversal NG.
- ∠MLN: outside the region between KM and HJ, on the lower - left of transversal NG. Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, alternate exterior angles should be on different sides of the transversal and outside the two lines. Let's re - evaluate.
- ∠HIL and ∠MLI: ∠HIL is outside the two lines (KM and HJ) on the upper - right of transversal NG, ∠MLI is outside on the lower - left? No, wait, maybe the correct pairs are:
- The correct alternate exterior angle pairs:
- ∠MLN and ∠HIG: ∠MLN is outside the two lines (KM and HJ) on the left - side of transversal NG, ∠HIG is outside on the right - side of transversal NG.
- ∠KLI and ∠JIL: Wait, no, let's use the definition properly. When two lines are cut by a transversal, alternate exterior angles are non - adjacent, outside the two lines, and on opposite sides of the transversal.
- Let's list the angles:
- For lines KM and HJ, transversal NG.
- Exterior angles: ∠KLI (above KM, left of NG), ∠MLN (below KM, left of NG) – no, that's not alternate. Wait, ∠KLI (outside, left of NG) and ∠JIL (outside, right of NG)? No, ∠JIL is below HJ, right of NG. Wait, maybe the correct pairs are ∠MLN and ∠HIG, and ∠KLI and ∠JIL? But the given options:
- Option 1: ∠KLI and ∠MLN – these are adjacent? No, ∠KLI and ∠MLN: ∠KLI is at L, between KM and NG, ∠MLN is at L, between KM and NG (wait, no, KM is a straight line, L is on KM. So ∠KLI and ∠MLN: ∠KLI + ∠MLN = 180°? No, maybe I misread the diagram.
- Wait, the correct alternate exterior angle pairs should be:
- ∠MLN and ∠HIG: ∠MLN is outside the two parallel - like lines (KM and HJ) on the left of transversal NG, ∠HIG is outside on the right of transversal NG.
- ∠KLI and ∠JIL: ∠KLI is outside on the left - upper of transversal NG, ∠JIL is outside on the right - lower of transversal NG. But in the given options, the correct pairs are ∠MLN and ∠HIG, and let's check the options again. The options are:
- ∠KLI and ∠MLN: No, they are adjacent supplementary?
- ∠HIL and ∠MLI: ∠HIL is at I, ∠MLI is at L – no.
- ∠JIL and ∠MLI: No.
- ∠MLN and ∠HIG: Yes, because ∠MLN is outside the two lines (KM and HJ) on the left of transversal NG, ∠HIG is outside on the right of transversal NG. Also, ∠KLI and ∠JIL? But in the given options, the correct pairs are ∠MLN and ∠HIG, and maybe ∠KLI and ∠JIL, but the options given:
Wait, maybe the initial selection was wrong. Let's start over.
Alternate exterior angles: two angles that lie outside the two lines cut by a transversal, and on opposite sides of the transversal.
Lines: Let's assume KM and HJ are the two lines (parallel or not), and NG is the transversal.
- Angles outside KM and HJ:
- Above KM: ∠KLI
- Below KM: ∠MLN
- Above HJ: ∠HIL
- Below HJ: ∠JIL
Transversal NG: divides the plane into left and right.
- Left of NG: ∠KLI, ∠MLN
- Right of NG: ∠HIL, ∠JIL

The correct pair of alternate exterior angles is $\angle MLN$ and $\angle HIG$ (among the given options, the pair $\angle MLN$ and $\angle HIG$ is the correct one for alternate exterior angles). If we consider the options, the correct option is the one with $\angle MLN$ and $\angle HIG$.
