Are the labeled angles interior or exterior?
∠1 and ∠2: corresponding angles
∠3 and ∠4: same-side interior angles
∠5 and ∠6: alternate interior angles
Before we consider the pairs of highlighted angles, let's review the definitions of the types of angles pairs that can be formed by a transversal.
Look at the angles that are labeled ∠1 and ∠2.
Analyzing them, we can see that ∠2 is interior, but ∠1 is exterior and they lie on the same side of the transversal. They must be corresponding angles.
Now, consider the angles labeled ∠3 and ∠4.
We see that both ∠3 and ∠4 are interior and they lie on the same side of the transversal. Therefore, the angles are same-side interior angles.
Finally, let's consider the angles labeled ∠5 and ∠6.
Both angles are interior, but they lie on opposite sides of the transversal. This means that the pair of angles are alternate interior angles.
