Question
linear pair alternate exterior same - side interior alternate interior corresponding vertical
Step1: Recall definitions
- A linear pair: adjacent angles that form a straight line ($x + y=180^{\circ}$ as they are adjacent and their non - common sides form a straight line).
- Alternate exterior: non - adjacent angles outside the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.
- Same - side interior: non - adjacent angles inside the two parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal.
- Alternate interior: non - adjacent angles inside the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.
- Corresponding: angles in the same relative position.
- Vertical: opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines.
Step2: Analyze the relationship
Since \(x\) and \(y\) are adjacent angles and their non - common sides form a straight line (a straight angle is \(180^{\circ}\)), they are a linear pair.
