Let’s solve each problem step by step.
We are looking for
exterior alternate angles. These are angles that:
- Are on opposite sides of the transversal (the line crossing the two parallel lines),
- Are outside the two parallel lines,
- And when the lines are parallel, they are equal in measure.
In all these diagrams, lines AB and CD are parallel (shown with arrows), and EF is the transversal.

Problem 1 (Top Left):
Given: Angle at top left = 105°
We need to find its exterior alternate angle — which is the one at bottom right (also labeled 105° in red).
Since the lines are parallel, exterior alternate angles are equal → so answer is
105°
---
Problem 2 (Top Right):
Given: Angle at top right = 45°
Its exterior alternate angle is at bottom left (labeled 45° in red) → so answer is
45°
---
Problem 3 (Middle Left):
Given: Angle at top right = 72°
Exterior alternate angle is at bottom left → should be equal →
72°
---
Problem 4 (Middle Right):
Given: Angle at top left = 129°
Exterior alternate angle is at bottom right → should be equal →
129°
---
Problem 5 (Bottom Left):
Given: Angle at top right = 71°
Exterior alternate angle is at bottom left → should be equal →
71°
---
Problem 6 (Bottom Right):
Given: Angle at top right = 89°
Exterior alternate angle is at bottom left → should be equal →
89°
---
All answers match what’s shown in red — because when lines are parallel, exterior alternate angles are always equal.
Final Answer:
105°, 45°, 72°, 129°, 71°, 89°
