Question

Use the figure to answer the question. If angle 4 is 42° and lines M and N are parallel, give a reason why angle 5 is also 42° . (1 point) Responses Angle 4 and angle 5 are interior angles, so their measures must be the same. Angle 4 and angle 5 are interior angles, so their measures must be the same. Angle 4 and angle 5 are vertical angles, so their measures are congruent. Angle 4 and angle 5 are vertical angles, so their measures are congruent. Angle 4 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles, so their measures must be the same. Angle 4 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles, so their measures must be the same. Angle 4 and angle 5 are corresponding angles, so their measures are congruent.

Answer 1

Since lines M and N are parallel and angle 4 is given as 42°, angle 5 can be determined to also be 42° because angle 4 and angle 5 are corresponding angles.

Therefore, the correct response is: Angle 4 and angle 5 are corresponding angles, so their measures are congruent.
