Answer:

Explanation:

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position relative to a pair of parallel lines when a third line (called a transversal) intersects them. They are equal in measure.

Here are some examples of corresponding angles:

1. Alternate interior angles: These angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two parallel lines. For example, if line a and line b are parallel, and transversal line c intersects them, angle 1 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles.

2. Alternate exterior angles: These angles are on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two parallel lines. Continuing with the previous example, angle 2 and angle 6 are alternate exterior angles.

3. Consecutive interior angles: These angles are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines. In our example, angle 3 and angle 5 are consecutive interior angles.

4. Consecutive exterior angles: These angles are on the same side of the transversal but outside the two parallel lines. Angle 4 and angle 6 are consecutive exterior angles in our example.

Remember, corresponding angles are always congruent (equal) when the lines being intersected are parallel.
