Question

In the given figure, two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. The pairs, $\angle 2$ & $\angle 6$ and $\angle 4$ & $\angle 8$ are __________ .

• A. corresponding angles
• B. alternate interior angles
• C. alternate exterior angles
• D. co-interior angles

Answer 1

The correct option is A corresponding angles


In the given figure,
the pairs, $\angle 2$ & $\angle 6$ and $\angle 4$ & $\angle 8$ are corresponding angles.


Other pairs of angles:
Alternate interior angles: $\angle 3$ & $\angle 5$ and $\angle 4$ & $\angle 6$
Alternate exterior angles: $\angle 1$ & $\angle 7$ and $\angle 2$ & $\angle 8$
Co-interior angles: $\angle 3$ & $\angle 6$ and $\angle 4$ & $\angle 5$
