Answer:

angle 3 = angle 7 and angle 1 = angle 8 are true,.

Explanation:

Given two parallel lines a and b. c is not parallel to a or b.

We know that parallel lines never meet. And when a transversal cuts the parallel lines, we have corresponding angles equal and alternate angles equal.

Here when the set of parallel lines a,b are cut by transversal, corresponding

angles formed are (3,7) .

Hence angle 3 = angle 7 ... i

I option is right

Also (4,8) are corresponding angles. Hence

angle 4 = angle 8 (corresponding angles)

angle 1 = angle 4 (vertically opposite angles)

Hence we get angle 1 = angle 8

Option 4 is true.

5 and 9 are not formed by parallel lines hence they need not be equal.

Similarly 1 and 12 need not be equal as c is not parallel to a or b.

SO only option 1 and 4 are correct.

When two straight lines intersect, the pairs of nonadjacent angles in opposite posi-tions are known as vertical angles.

If a segment AB is intersected by a transversal labeled t, then ∠1 and ∠3 and ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically angles formed by the transversal t on the segment AB.

Angles ∠1 and ∠2 can be described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Angles ∠3 and ∠2 can be also described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 3+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Subtract from the first equation the second equation:

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2-(m\angle 3+m\angle 2)=180^{\circ}-180^{\circ},\\ m\angle 1-m\angle 3=0,\\ m\angle 1=m\angle 3$ .

Similarly you can prove that $m\angle 2=m\angle 4$ .
