A Practice

See Problem 1.

Use the diagram to name each of the following. Assume that lines and planes that appear to be parallel are parallel.

A box has pentagon-shaped top and bottom sides, connected by rectangular sides.
Image Long Description

  1. a pair of parallel planes
  2. all lines that are parallel to modified eh b with left right arrow above
  3. all lines that are parallel to modified d h with left right arrow above
  4. two lines that are skew to modified e j with left right arrow above
  5. all lines that are parallel to plane JFAE
  6. a plane parallel to modified l h with left right arrow above

See Problem 2.

Identify all pairs of each type of angles in the diagram. Name the two lines and the transversal that form each pair.

Five lines intersect.
Image Long Description

  1. corresponding angles
  2. alternate interior angles
  3. same-side interior angles
  4. alternate exterior angles

See Problem 3.

Are the angles labeled in the same color alternate interior angles, same-side interior angles, corresponding angles, or alternate exterior angles?

  1. A transversal intersects two nearly horizontal lines.
    Image Long Description
  2. A transversal intersects two nearly horizontal parallel lines.
    Image Long Description
  3. A transversal intersects three lines.
    Image Long Description
  4. Aviation The photo shows an overhead view of airport runways. Are angle 1  and angle 2  alternate interior angles, same-side interior angles, corresponding angles, or alternate exterior angles?

    A transversal runway intersects nearly horizontal parallel runways. Angle 1 is left of the transversal above the top runway and angle 2 is left of the transversal above the bottom runway.
