fallstransversalDefine corresponding angles: Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position relative to lines intersected by a transversal. When a transversal intersects two lines, the two lines are parallel if and only if corresponding angles are equal

Label the two parallel lines and the transversal in the question

From the figure above,

Line AB is the transversal

Line CD and LIne EF are parallel to each other

It can be observed that when tranversal AB cuts the parallel lines:

(i) Angles 1 and 3 fall in the same position relative to each parallel line

(ii) Angles 5 and 7 fall in the same position relative to each parallel line CD and EF

(iii) Angles 6 and 8 fall in the same position relative to each parallel line CD and EF

Hence, B, E, and F are the correct options

Which angles are corresponding angles? A. 7 and 2B. 1 and 3 C. 6 and 3 D. 1 and 6 E-example-1
