Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If angle A and angle B are corresponding angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines, what can be said about their measures?
  • Step 1: Identify the two parallel lines. Let's call them Line 1 and Line 2.
  • Step 2: Identify the transversal. This is the line that crosses both Line 1 and Line 2.
  • Step 3: Locate angle A and angle B. These angles are formed where the transversal intersects Line 1 and Line 2.
  • Step 4: Recognize that angle A is on one line (Line 1) and angle B is on the other line (Line 2).
  • Step 5: Understand that corresponding angles are in the same position relative to the parallel lines and the transversal.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since angle A and angle B are corresponding angles, their measures are equal.
  • Corresponding Angles – When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection are called corresponding angles, and they are equal in measure.
