Questions on Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

What are angles 1 and 5?

• Alternate Interior Angles

• Same Side Interior Angles

• Alternate Exterior Angles

• Corresponding Angles

Answer explanation

Corresponding angles are in the same relative position (in matching corners) and on the same side of the transversal. They are congruent (equal in measure).

Answer explanation

Same Side Interior Angles are supplementary angles (they add to 180 degrees).

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).

A line that passes through parallel lines is called a ______________.

• vertical lines

• a passer through line

• transversal

• perpendicular line

WHAT IS THE CORRECT EQUATION TO FIND THE VALUE OF X?

• X=12

• 8X - 17 + 5X +19 = 180

• 8X - 17 = 5X +19

• X= -12

WHICH IS THE CORRECT EQUATION TO SOLVE FOR X?

• 16X+180 = 90

• 12X - 29 = 4X +1

• 12X - 29 + 4X +1=90

• 12X - 29 + 4X +1=180

WHAT IS THE CORRECT EQUATION TO USE TO SOLVE FOR X?

• 33 = 7X +5

• -7X=33

• 33+7X+5=180

• 33+7X+5=90

Which of these angles is NOT congruent to angle 5?

• Angle 6

• Angle 8

• Angle 1

• Angle 4

Find the measure of angle 4

• 27^o

• 153^o

• 63^o

• 90^o

Find the missing angle measure and name the pair of angles.

• 79 degrees; Vertical Angles

• 101 degrees; Linear Pair

• 79 degrees; Corresponding Angles

• 101 degrees; Alternate Interior Angles
