Exercise 1 Page 667

Are the angles adjacent? Do they lie on the same side or different sides of the transversal?

Transversal: Line s
Angles: Alternate Interior Angles

Practice makes perfect
A transversal is a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at two different points. Now, let's highlight angles ∠ 6 and ∠ 3 on the given diagram.

Angles ∠ 6 and ∠ 3 are formed by the lines p and r and the transversal s. They do not share any side or a point, so they are nonadjacent. Also, ∠ 6 and ∠ 3 are interior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal. Therefore, the angles are alternate interior angles.
