Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

What are angles 2 and 8?

• Alternate Interior Angles

• Same Side Interior Angles

• Alternate Exterior Angles

• Corresponding Angles

Answer explanation

Alternate Exterior Angles are angles outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. They are congruent (equal in measure).
