For the given parallel ines cut by a transversal line the correct statement is (4). ∠7 and ∠8 are supplementary because they are a pair of adjacent angles that form a straight line.
What types of angles are formed when a transversal cuts paralle lines?
The intersections of two parallel lines formed by a transversal form several angles. These are referred to as transversal angles. Here are some examples of transversal angles:
- Corresponding angles
- Alternate Interior Angles
- Alternate Exterior Angles
- Co-interior Angles
Angles are said to be supplementary to each other when two adjacent angles are formed at a point on a line so that the sum of their measures is 180°.
∠7 and ∠8 are supplementary in the attached figure since they represent a pair of adjacent angles which constitute a straight line.
