Question

In the figure, the angles are formed by a transversal and two parallel lines. Which angles are congruent?

Answer 1

Answer:

A is your correct answer.

1, 3, 5, and 7 are equal to each other and 2, 4, 6, and 8 are equal to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure. In this example, where two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, the angles in the same position on the top line and bottom line are congruent. For example, angle 1 and 5 are in the same position, so they have the same measure.

Also, vertical angles (opposite angles, like 5 & 7 in your example) have the same measure.
