Question
select all the pairs of alternate exterior angles.
∠ijl and ∠hgj ∠kjg and ∠hge
∠fge and ∠kjl ∠hge and ∠ijl
Step1: Recall Alternate Exterior Angles Definition
Alternate exterior angles are formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines. They lie outside the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.
Step2: Analyze Each Pair
- ∠IJL and ∠HGJ: ∠IJL is outside the lines \(FH\) and \(IK\), ∠HGJ is outside too, opposite sides of transversal \(EL\). Valid.
- ∠KJG and ∠HGE: ∠KJG is outside, ∠HGE is outside, opposite sides of transversal. Valid.
- ∠FGE and ∠KJL: ∠FGE is outside, ∠KJL is outside, opposite sides of transversal. Valid.
- ∠HGE and ∠IJL: ∠HGE is outside, ∠IJL is outside, opposite sides of transversal. Valid. Wait, no—wait, let's re - check. Wait, maybe I made a mistake earlier. Wait, alternate exterior angles: the two lines are \(FH\) (with points \(F, G, H\)) and \(IK\) (with points \(I, J, K\)), transversal is \(EL\) (with points \(E, G, J, L\)).
So for \(FH\) and \(IK\) cut by \(EL\):
- Exterior angles: above \(FH\) and below \(IK\), or below \(FH\) and above \(IK\), on opposite sides of \(EL\).
Let's re - evaluate each pair:
- ∠IJL and ∠HGJ: ∠IJL is below \(IK\) (exterior), ∠HGJ is above \(FH\) (exterior), opposite sides of \(EL\). Valid.
- ∠KJG and ∠HGE: ∠KJG is above \(IK\) (exterior), ∠HGE is below \(FH\) (exterior), opposite sides of \(EL\). Valid.
- ∠FGE and ∠KJL: ∠FGE is below \(FH\) (exterior), ∠KJL is above \(IK\) (exterior), opposite sides of \(EL\). Valid.
- ∠HGE and ∠IJL: ∠HGE is below \(FH\) (exterior), ∠IJL is below \(IK\) (exterior) — same side? No, wait, transversal \(EL\): ∠HGE is on one side of \(EL\) (right of \(EL\) above \(FH\)? Wait, maybe my initial analysis was wrong. Wait, let's use the correct definition: alternate exterior angles are non - adjacent, outside the two parallel lines, and on opposite sides of the transversal.
Wait, maybe the correct pairs are:
- ∠FGE (outside \(FH\), left of \(EL\)) and ∠KJL (outside \(IK\), right of \(EL\)) — alternate exterior.
- ∠HGE (outside \(FH\), right of \(EL\)) and ∠IJL (outside \(IK\), left of \(EL\)) — alternate exterior.
- ∠KJG (outside \(IK\), right of \(EL\)) and ∠HGE (outside \(FH\), right of \(EL\)) — no, same side. Wait, no, ∠KJG is above \(IK\), ∠HGE is below \(FH\), opposite sides of transversal. Wait, maybe the original checked pairs: let's see the diagram again.
Wait, the lines \(FH\) (horizontal, \(F\) left, \(H\) right) and \(IK\) (horizontal, \(I\) left, \(K\) right), transversal \(EL\) (diagonal, \(E\) top - left, \(L\) bottom - right).
So exterior angles:
- For \(FH\): angles above \(FH\) (∠HGE) and below \(FH\) (∠FGE).
- For \(IK\): angles above \(IK\) (∠KJG) and below \(IK\) (∠IJL).
Alternate exterior angles:
- ∠FGE (below \(FH\), left of \(EL\)) and ∠KJL (below \(IK\), right of \(EL\))? No, ∠KJL is below \(IK\)? Wait, ∠KJL: point \(J\), \(K\) is right, \(L\) is down, so ∠KJL is below \(IK\), right of \(EL\). ∠FGE is below \(FH\), left of \(EL\). So they are alternate exterior.
- ∠HGE (above \(FH\), right of \(EL\)) and ∠IJL (below \(IK\), left of \(EL\))? Wait, ∠IJL is below \(IK\), left of \(EL\). ∠HGE is above \(FH\), right of \(EL\). So they are alternate exterior.
- ∠KJG (above \(IK\), right of \(EL\)) and ∠HGE (above \(FH\), right of \(EL\)) — no, same side. Wait, no, ∠KJG is above \(IK\), ∠HGE is above \(FH\), opposite sides of transversal? Wait, transversal \(EL\): ∠KJG is on the right side of \(EL\) (above \(IK\)), ∠HGE is on the right side of \(EL\) (above \(FH\)) — same side. So that pair is wrong.
- ∠IJL (below \(IK\), left of \(EL\)) and ∠HGJ: ∠HGJ is at \(G\), betwe…

The correct pairs of alternate exterior angles are \(\angle FGE\) and \(\angle KJL\), \(\angle HGE\) and \(\angle IJL\) (and also, if we consider the other valid one, \(\angle FGE\) and \(\angle KJG\) but based on the options, \(\angle FGE\) and \(\angle KJL\), \(\angle HGE\) and \(\angle IJL\) are the correct ones from the given options. Wait, in the options, the pairs are:
- \(\angle IJL\) and \(\angle HGJ\) (wrong)
- \(\angle KJG\) and \(\angle HGE\) (wrong)
- \(\angle FGE\) and \(\angle KJL\) (correct)
- \(\angle HGE\) and \(\angle IJL\) (correct)
So the correct options (the ones with checkmarks that are correct) are \(\boldsymbol{\angle FGE}\) and \(\boldsymbol{\angle KJL}\), \(\boldsymbol{\angle HGE}\) and \(\boldsymbol{\angle IJL}\) (i.e., the third and fourth options in the given set of options).
