Question

  1. a fence on a hill uses vertical posts l and m to hold parallel rails n and p. ∠4 and ∠14 are alternate exterior angles. what is the transversal?

n
l
p
m

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of a transversal

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines.

Step2: Analyze the given angles and lines

\(\angle4\) and \(\angle14\) are alternate - exterior angles. The parallel rails are \(N\) and \(P\). The vertical posts are \(L\) and \(M\).
For \(\angle4\) and \(\angle14\), the line \(M\) intersects the parallel lines \(N\) and \(P\).

Answer:

\(M\)
