Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of alternate exterior angles formed by a transversal intersects a pair of parallel lines?

A. The alternate exterior angles are always supplementary.

B. The alternate exterior angles are always congruent.

C. The measures of the alternate exterior angles are always different.

D. The alternate exterior angles are always complementary.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to select which out of the options best answer the question. The correct answer is that alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Whenever we are talking about alternate angels, we are talking about two angles which forms ‘z’ letter , given two parallel lines and a transversal passing the lines. Now while the alternate angles are the angles at the corner of the z, the exterior alternate angles are the angles which are above the first parallel line and below the second parallel line.
