Question

The figure shown has two parallel lines cut by a transversal: A pair of parallel lines is shown, crossed by a transversal. Angles are identified as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Angles 1-4 are on the top line clockwise from upper left. Angles 5-8 are on the lower line clockwise from upper left. Use the figure to complete the sentence. ∠7 and ____ are alternate exterior angles. ∠2 ∠1 ∠5 ∠8

Answer 1

*see attachement for the diagram of the figure being referred to

Answer:

<1

Explanation:

Alternate exterior angles are a pair of angles which are located on the opposite side of the transversal, outside the two parallel lines.

From the figure given, you would see that <7 and <1 lie on opposite side of the transversal and they lie on the outside of the two parallel lines that are cut across by the transversal.

Therefore:

<7 and <1 are alternate exterior angles.
