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).
