Question

4. Define Corresponding angles​

Answer 1

Definition: Corresponding angles are the angles which are formed in matching corners or corresponding corners with the transversal when two parallel lines are intersected by any other line (i.e. the transversal). For example, in the below-given figure, angle p and angle w are the corresponding angles.

All corresponding angle pairs in the figure:

• ∠p and ∠w
• ∠q and ∠x
• ∠r and ∠y
• ∠s and ∠z

Note: The corresponding angles formed by two parallel lines are always equal. So,

• ∠p = ∠w
• ∠q= ∠x
• ∠r = ∠y
• And ∠s = ∠z
