Question

An inclined transversal passes through two vertical parallel lines labeled upper M and upper N. The angles formed around the intersection point of upper M are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 1, 2, 4, and 3. The corresponding angles formed around the intersection point of upper N are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 5, 6, 8, and 7.

What is the relationship between angle 3 and angle 6?

Answer 1

To determine the relationship between angle 3 and angle 6, we can analyze their positions in relation to the parallel lines (M and N) and the transversal.

• Angle 3 is located in the lower right position around line M.
• Angle 6 is located in the lower right position around line N, directly parallel to line M.

Since angle 3 and angle 6 are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside of the two parallel lines, they are classified as alternate exterior angles.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

alternate exterior angles.
