Question
lines m and n are parallel. ∠2 and ∠6 are what kind of angles?
a) alternating exterior angles
b) alternating interior angles
c) corresponding angles
d) vertical angles
Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. When two parallel lines (m and n) are cut by a transversal, ∠2 and ∠6 are in the same relative position. Alternating exterior angles are outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Alternating interior angles are inside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines cross. Since ∠2 and ∠6 match the definition of corresponding angles.
