Question

In the diagram, transversal t cuts parallel lines a and b. Which angles form a pair of alternate exterior angles?

∠1 and ∠7

∠1 and ∠8

∠2 and ∠8

∠2 and ∠5

Answer 1

The pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two lines are called Alternate Exterior Angles. Therefore, the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The pair of angles that are alternate exterior angles would be ∠1 and ∠8. Hope this answers the question.
