Question
Use the figure to answer the question.

An illustration shows a right inclined transversal passing through two parallel lines labeled upper M and upper N. Four angles are formed at the intersections of the transversal with upper M and upper N. The angles formed around the intersection point of the transversal and 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.

Which angle is an alternate interior angle to angle 5?

(1 point)
angle
Incorrect

Alternate interior angles are interior angles that are on opposite sides of a transversal.

Answer 1

Angle 4

Explanation: Angle 5 and angle 4 are both interior (between the two parallel lines) and lie on opposite sides of the transversal, so they are alternate interior angles.
