Question

Select the best attribute for the angle pair formed by two parallel lines intersected

by a transversal.
Corresponding Angles

1. equal, (=)
2. not equal, (+)
3. sum to 90°
4. sum to 180°​

Answer 1

Corresponding Angles sum to 180°

Explanation:

If a pair of parallel lines is cut by transversal that is not perpendicular to the parallel lines as shwon in the figures (attached below), then;

Four angles are acute, and four are obtuse.

• All four acute angles are equal: 2=3=6=7
• All four obtuse angles are equal: 1=4=5=8
• The sum of acute and obtuse angles is 180: for example, 1+2=180, 3+4=180, 5+6=180, 7+8=180

so the best attribute for the angle pair formed by two parallel lines intersected by a transversal is that Corresponding Angles sum to 180°.
