Observe the adjoining figure and answer the following questions:a) Identify the Parallel lines.b)Name the transversal.c)Write any one pair of congruent angles.
Answers
Answer:
a. Parallel lines are equidistant lines (lines having equal distance from each other) that will never meet. These are some examples of parallel lines in different directions: horizontally, diagonally, and vertically. Another important fact about parallel lines: they share the same direction.
b. How to name a transversal
In order to name any angles formed by a transversal, you create their first name related to the transversal: same-side or alternate. The second-half of the angles' names comes from their location between the two parallel lines: interior or exterior.
c. Congruent Angles Definition
It is denoted by the symbol ≅ , so if we want to represent ∠A is congruent to ∠X, we will write it as ∠A ≅ ∠X. Look at a congruent angles example given below. In the above image, both the angles are equal in measurement (60∘ each). They can completely overlap each other.
