AB || CD
True or false:
X and Y alternate angles.
AB || CD
True or false:
X and Y alternate angles.
To determine if angles and are alternate angles, let's analyze the configuration:
Step 1: Identify the Transversal:
The line labeled in orange cuts across the two parallel lines and . This line acts as a transversal.
Step 2: Locate Angles and :
Angle is situated between lines and the transversal. Angle is between and the transversal, but not in symmetric opposite with respect to the transversal line.
Step 3: Analyze Relative Positioning:
For and to be alternate interior angles, they must lie between the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Since both angles and are not on alternate sides of the transversal line, they do not fit the definition of alternate angles.
Conclusion:
Since and do not lie on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines, they are not alternate interior angles.
Therefore, the statement is False.
False
