Let's solve each problem step by step, identifying the angle relationships based on the diagrams.
---
Part 1: Name the relationship: complementary, supplementary, vertical, or adjacent.
####
1)
- Two lines intersect, forming angles `a` and `b`.
- Angles `a` and `b` are next to each other and form a straight line (linear pair).
- A linear pair adds up to 180° →
Supplementary.
✔ Answer: Supplementary
---
####
2)
- Angles `a` and `b` share a common vertex and side, but they don’t form a straight line.
- They are not opposite, nor do they add to 90° or 180° visibly.
- They are next to each other with a common side and vertex →
Adjacent.
✔ Answer: Adjacent
---
####
3)
- Two lines cross, forming four angles.
- Angles `a` and `b` are directly opposite each other at the intersection.
- These are
vertical angles.
✔ Answer: Vertical
---
####
4)
- Angles `a` and `b` are at the same vertex, sharing a side.
- There’s a right angle symbol between them → they form a right angle together.
- So, `a + b = 90°` →
Complementary.
✔ Answer: Complementary
---
####
5)
- Angles `a` and `b` are next to each other and share a common side and vertex.
- They form a right angle together (indicated by the square corner).
- So, `a + b = 90°` →
Complementary.
✔ Answer: Complementary
---
####
6)
- Angles `a` and `b` share a vertex and a side.
- They are next to each other, forming part of a larger angle.
- But no indication of 90° or 180°.
- They are
adjacent.
✔ Answer: Adjacent

Part 2: Name the relationship: alternate interior, corresponding, or alternate exterior.
These involve
parallel lines cut by a transversal.
We assume the lines are parallel unless otherwise indicated.
---
####
7)
- Two parallel lines crossed by a transversal.
- Angle `a` is on the
top right, angle `b` is on the
bottom left.
- They are on
opposite sides of the transversal and
between the two lines.
- That makes them
Alternate Interior angles.
✔ Answer: Alternate Interior
---
####
8)
- Parallel lines, transversal.
- Angle `a` is on the
top right, angle `b` is on the
top left.
- Both are on the
same side of the transversal, and both are
above the lines.
- They are in the
same relative position →
Corresponding.
✔ Answer: Corresponding
---
####
9)
- Two parallel lines crossed by a transversal.
- Angle `a` is on the
top right, angle `b` is on the
bottom left.
- They are on
opposite sides of the transversal.
- Both are
outside the two lines →
Alternate Exterior.
✔ Answer: Alternate Exterior
---
####
10)
- Two horizontal parallel lines, one diagonal transversal.
- Angle `a` is above the top line, on the right side.
- Angle `b` is below the bottom line, on the right side.
- They are on the
same side of the transversal and
in the same relative position (both on the right).
- So, they are
Corresponding angles.
✔ Answer: Corresponding

🔍 Explanation Summary:
-
Complementary: Two angles that add to 90°.
-
Supplementary: Two angles that add to 180°.
-
Vertical: Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines.
-
Adjacent: Share a common side and vertex, but do not overlap.
-
Alternate Interior: Inside the parallel lines, on opposite sides of the transversal.
-
Alternate Exterior: Outside the parallel lines, on opposite sides of the transversal.
-
Corresponding: Same relative position at each intersection (e.g., top-right, bottom-left).
