Question

1. which of the following statements is true about parallel lines pq and rs? a° and c° are vertical angles a° and c° are corresponding angles a° and c° are alternate exterior angles a° and c° are alternate interior angles.

Explanation:

Vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect. Corresponding angles are in the same relative position with respect to the parallel lines and the transversal. Alternate exterior angles are outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Alternate interior angles are inside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. For parallel lines \(pq\) and \(rs\), angles \(a^{\circ}\) and \(c^{\circ}\) are in the same relative position with respect to the parallel lines and the transversal, so they are corresponding angles.

Answer:

a° and c° are corresponding angles
