Step-by-step solution for: Geometry Worksheets | Angles Worksheets
Let's solve each problem step by step using the properties of alternate angles and angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal.
- Alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
- Alternate exterior angles are also equal.
- Supplementary angles (on a straight line) add up to 180°.
- Vertical angles (opposite angles at an intersection) are equal.
We’ll assume that the horizontal lines in each diagram are parallel, as is typical in such problems unless stated otherwise.

- Alternate angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
- In all cases, we used the alternate interior angle rule: angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines are equal.
- The labeling shows that ∠1 and ∠3 are alternate, and ∠2 and ∠4 are alternate.
✔ All answers are consistent with this rule.

📌 Explanation Recap:
- Alternate angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
- In all cases, we used the alternate interior angle rule: angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines are equal.
- The labeling shows that ∠1 and ∠3 are alternate, and ∠2 and ∠4 are alternate.
✔ All answers are consistent with this rule.
