What is the relationship between ∠ 1 and ∠ 5?
Angle: m∠ 5=123
Theorem: Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
These angles are formed by two parallel lines and the transversal. They lie on opposite sides of the transversal and on different sides of the parallel lines. According to the definition, these are alternate exterior angles. To find the measure of ∠ 5, we can use Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem |
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate exterior angles is congruent. |
According to this theorem, ∠ 1 and ∠ 5 are congruent and their measures are the same. Therefore, the measure of ∠ 5 is also 123.
