Question

1. why is the angle formed, where the green transversal intersects the blue parallel line, y? alt. int. angles are congruent alt. ext. angles are congruent corresponding angles are congruent consecutive ext. angles are supplementary

Explanation:

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent. Alternate interior angles are the angles that lie between the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. In this case, the green transversal intersects the blue parallel lines, and the angle \( y \) is formed as an alternate interior angle.

Answer:

Alt. Int. Angles are Congruent
