1. Understand that alternate angles are formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines. They are located on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines. Alternate angles are equal in measure.
2. In Section A, identify one pair of alternate angles in each diagram. Look for angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two parallel lines. These angles will be equal.
3. In Section B, identify two alternate angles to the given angle b°. The two angles that are alternate to b° will be on the opposite side of the transversal and between the two parallel lines. These angles will also be equal to b°.
4. For each diagram in Section B, find the two angles that are alternate to b°. These angles will be equal to b° and located in the positions described above.
5. The solutions are the pairs of angles identified in each section that meet the criteria for alternate angles.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of alternate angles worksheet.
