Exercise 13 Page 507

What condition has to be meet for corresponding angles to be congruent?

The angles are not congruent.
Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect

The Corresponding Angles Theorem states that corresponding angles are congruent if the lines that are cut by the transversal are parallel. In this case, we can see that the lines are not parallel, because the arrows on the left hand side are further apart than the arrows on the right-hand side.

The lines cut by the transversal are not parallel and therefore angles ∠ 9 and ∠ 10 are not congruent.
