Read each question carefully and provide the best answer. Show all your work for short answer questions.
1. Which pair of angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines?
Corresponding angles
Alternate interior angles
Alternate exterior angles
Consecutive interior angles
2. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and one corresponding angle measures 75°, what is the measure of its corresponding angle?
15°
75°
105°
180°
3. When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, alternate exterior angles are .
4. Consecutive interior angles are also known as angles.
5. In the diagram below, lines 'a' and 'b' are parallel, and line 't' is a transversal. If angle 1 measures 110°, find the measure of angle 8. Justify your answer.
6. If two non-parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then corresponding angles are always congruent.
