To determine the relationship between angle 5 and angle 1 when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, we must identify the positions of these angles in relation to the parallel lines and the transversal.

  1. If angle 5 and angle 1 are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines, they are alternate interior angles.
  2. If angle 5 and angle 1 are on the same side of the transversal and either above or below the parallel lines, they could be corresponding angles.
  3. If angle 5 and angle 1 are directly across from each other at the intersection of the transversal and the parallel lines, they are vertical angles.

Assuming that angle 5 is inside the parallel lines and on the opposite side of the transversal from angle 1, the correct relationship is:

Alternate interior angles.

If you can provide a clearer description of the figure or the placement of angles, I can offer a more precise answer.
