Question

PLEASE HELP Classify each pair of numbered angles as corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, or none of these.

Drag and drop the choices into the boxes to correctly complete the table.

corresponding alternate interior alternate exterior none of these

Answer 1

1. alternate exterior
2. none of these (consecutive exterior)
3. corresponding
4. alternate interior
5. corresponding

Explanation:

The above list is for the figures numbered 1-3 (left to right) on the top row, and 4-5 (left to right) on the bottom row.

__

"Alternate" angles are on opposite sides of the transversal. If the angles are between the parallel lines, they are "interior" (fig 4). If they are outside the parallel lines, they are "exterior" (fig 1).

"Corresponding" angles are found in the same direction from the point of intersection. Upper-left corresponding angles are seen in fig. 3; lower-right corresponding angles are seen in fig. 5.

The angles marked in figure 2 are "consecutive exterior" angles, also called "same-side exterior" angles. The applicable descriptive choice in this problem is "none of these".
