Question

Which pair of angles are alternate exterior angles?

A) 1 and 8
B) 1 and 7
C) 2 and 7
D) 2 and 9

Answer 1

Option (C)

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

Two lines are the parallel lines and one line is intersecting these lines at two distinct points.

m∠3 = ∠6 [Alternate interior angles]

Since, angles 2 and 7 are the vertically opposite angles,

m∠2 = m∠7 [Alternate exterior angles]

Therefore, angles ∠2 and ∠7 are the pair of alternate exterior angles.

Option (C) is the answer.
