Use the diagram below to answer questions 1-3.
1. Which angle is corresponding to angle 1?
2. Identify a pair of alternate interior angles.
3. Which angle is consecutive interior to angle 4?
4. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, which of the following statements is TRUE?
Corresponding angles are supplementary.
Alternate interior angles are congruent.
Alternate exterior angles are complementary.
Consecutive interior angles are congruent.
5. When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines.
6. If the measure of one alternate exterior angle is 110°, then the other alternate exterior angle measures .
7. If two lines are intersected by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
True
False
8. In the diagram below, lines M and N are parallel and cut by transversal P. If ∠A = 75°, find the measure of ∠B and justify your answer.
