Question: If two lines are parallel and a transversal creates an angle of 40° with one of the lines, what is the measure of the corresponding angle on the other line?

Options:

  1. 40°
  2. 140°
  3. 180°
  4. 90°

Correct Answer: 40°

Solution:

Corresponding angles are equal, so the corresponding angle is also 40°.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two lines are parallel and a transversal creates an angle of 40° with one of the lines, what is the measure of the corresponding angle on the other line?
  • Step 1: Understand that parallel lines are lines that never meet and are always the same distance apart.
  • Step 2: Identify what a transversal is. A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines.
  • Step 3: Recognize that when a transversal crosses parallel lines, it creates angles.
  • Step 4: Note that corresponding angles are the angles that are in the same position on each line when a transversal crosses them.
  • Step 5: Since the angle created with one of the parallel lines is 40°, the corresponding angle on the other parallel line must also be 40°.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the measure of the corresponding angle on the other line is 40°.
  • Corresponding Angles – When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the angles in corresponding positions are equal.
