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 need to analyze their positions relative to the two parallel lines (M and N) cut by the transversal.

• Angle 3 is located on the upper line (M), and it is positioned on the right side of the transversal.
• Angle 6 is located on the lower line (N), directly below angle 3 and also on the right side of the transversal.

Since angle 3 and angle 6 are on opposite sides of the transversal and both are located between the two parallel lines (they are on the same side of the transversal), they qualify as corresponding angles.

Thus, the correct response is:

corresponding angles
