Question

the fence uses vertical posts l, m, and o to hold parallel rails n and p. ∠10 and ∠16 are alternate interior angles. name the transversal.
a. o
b. n
c. m
d. p

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of alternate interior angles

Alternate interior angles are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. The transversal is the line that cuts across the two parallel lines.

Step2: Analyze the given angles and lines

Given that \(n\) and \(p\) are parallel rails. \(\angle10\) and \(\angle16\) are alternate interior angles. The line that intersects the parallel lines \(n\) and \(p\) to form these alternate - interior angles is \(o\).

Answer:

A. \(o\)
