Question
- use the following diagram to identify:
the transversal ______
a pair of vertical angles ______
a pair of adjacent angles ______
a pair of supplementary angles ______
a pair of alternate interior angles ______
Brief Explanations
- Transversal: A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines. In the given diagram, line \( n \) intersects lines \( l \) and \( m \), so \( n \) is the transversal.
- Vertical Angles: Vertical angles are opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. For example, \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 4 \) are not vertical angles. But \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 3 \) are not either. \( \angle 3 \) and \( \angle 4 \) form a linear - pair. \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) form a linear - pair. \( \angle 3 \) and \( \angle 5 \) are alternate interior angles (if lines \( l\) and \(m\) are parallel). \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 5 \) are corresponding angles (if lines \( l\) and \(m\) are parallel). \( \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 4 \) are vertical angles (formed by the intersection of line \( l\) and transversal \( n\)).
- Adjacent Angles: Adjacent angles have a common side and a common vertex and no common interior points. \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) share a common side (the non - common sides form a line) and a common vertex.
- Supplementary Angles: Supplementary angles add up to \( 180^{\circ}\). \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 2 \) form a linear - pair (since they are adjacent and their non - common sides form a straight line), so \( \angle 1+\angle 2 = 180^{\circ}\).
- Alternate Interior Angles: Alternate interior angles are between the two lines (\( l\) and \(m\)) and on opposite sides of the transversal (\(n\)). \( \angle 3 \) and \( \angle 5 \) are between lines \( l\) and \(m\) and on opposite sides of transversal \(n\).
