Question
tv and wy are parallel lines. which angles are alternate exterior angles? ∠vus and ∠vux ∠vus and ∠wxz ∠vus and ∠yxz ∠vus and ∠wxu
Step1: Recall the definition of alternate exterior angles
Alternate exterior angles are non - adjacent exterior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal.
Step2: Analyze each pair
- For \(\angle VUS\) and \(\angle VUX\): These are adjacent angles, so they are not alternate exterior angles.
- For \(\angle VUS\) and \(\angle WXZ\): \(\overleftrightarrow{TV}\parallel\overleftrightarrow{WY}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{ZS}\) is the transversal. \(\angle VUS\) and \(\angle WXZ\) are non - adjacent exterior angles and lie on opposite sides of the transversal \(\overleftrightarrow{ZS}\).
- For \(\angle VUS\) and \(\angle YXZ\): These angles do not satisfy the position requirements of alternate exterior angles.
- For \(\angle VUS\) and \(\angle WXU\): These are not exterior angles in the sense of alternate exterior angles (also, their position relationship is not correct for alternate exterior angles).
