Parallel Lines and Transversals

The proper way to write that these lines are parallel is:

Answer explanation

The proper way to write that these lines are parallel is when represented as vectors with arrows over them, like \(\overleftarrow{A}\overrightarrow{B}\parallel\overleftarrow{C}\overrightarrow{D}\).

Name a plane parallel to plane AEF

• plane HGC

• plane BCF

• plane ABC

Answer explanation

Plane HGC is parallel to plane AEF because they do not intersect and maintain the same distance between each other throughout.

• Alternate Interior Angles

• Alternate Exterior Angles

• Consecutive Interior Angles

• Consecutive Exterior Angles

• Corresponding Angles

Answer explanation

Alternate Exterior Angles are formed when two lines are intersected by a transversal, and the angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines.

• Alternate Interior Angles

• Alternate Exterior Angles

• Consecutive Interior Angles

• Consecutive Exterior Angles

• Corresponding Angles

Answer explanation

Consecutive Interior Angles are angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the parallel lines. In this case, angle 2 and angle 3 are consecutive interior angles.
