1. Which pair of angles are congruent when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?
Consecutive interior angles
Same-side exterior angles
Alternate interior angles
Linear pairs
2. If two lines are cut by a transversal such that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are:
Perpendicular
Parallel
Skew
Intersecting
3. When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the alternate exterior angles are .
4. If the measure of an angle is 70 degrees, its corresponding angle will have a measure of degrees.
5. In the diagram below, lines 'a' and 'b' are parallel, and line 't' is a transversal. If m∠1 = 110°, find the measures of the angles listed below.
