To establish the relationship between angle 5 and angle 1 as corresponding angles, we need to consider the facts about angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent. Corresponding angles are located on the same side of the transversal, on the same position relative to the parallel lines.
In the given diagram, angle 5 and angle 1 are located on the same side of the transversal and are both on the bottom left position relative to the parallel lines. Therefore, we can conclude that angle 5 and angle 1 are corresponding angles.
Since corresponding angles are congruent, we can state that angle 5 is congruent to angle 1.
