To determine the number of alternate exterior angles with angle 16, we first need to visualize or describe the situation given that there are four lines intersecting to form 16 angles.
Normally, in a configuration with pairs of parallel lines cut by a transversal, alternate exterior angles are formed. These are angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines.
Assuming angle 16 is one of the angles formed at the intersection of two of those lines, we need to identify which angles are alternate exterior to angle 16.
Based on a standard labeling of angles formed by two parallel lines cut by two transversals:
- If angle 16 is positioned at one of the intersections, the angles that would be alternate exterior to angle 16 would be those that are located in different 'corners' on the opposite side of the lines.
For example:
1. If angle 16 is in the lower left quadrant, capturing angles above it and to its left and right, its alternate exterior angles would be those in the upper left quadrant that are also at an exterior position concerning the parallel lines.
Going by the numbering provided in your example:
- If angle 16 is in the lower right corner, then alternate exterior angles to angle 16 would be located in the upper left at about the corresponding location at the opposite side of the transversal interaction.
Counting the angles:
If we identify the angles systematically:
- From angle 16, the only angle that is located in an alternate exterior position is angle 2 (if we assume 16 is in the lower right).
- There are no corresponding angles at either extreme of the configuration that remain exterior as per the rules of alternate exterior angles.
Thus, the conclusion is:
**There is one alternate exterior angle to angle 16. Therefore, the answer is:** **one.**
