A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, as shown:
A pair of parallel lines is shown cut by a transversal. Angle x is located in the upper right exterior next to the transversal, and angle y is located in the bottom left exterior corner of the transversal.
Which of the following best represents the relationship between angles x and y? (4 points)
x = 180 degrees − y
y = 180 degrees − x
x = y
x = 2y
x = 180 degrees − y
The figure below shows parallel lines cut by a transversal:
A pair of parallel lines is shown, cut by a transversal. Angle 1 is located in the upper right exterior corner on the top line, and angle 2 is located in the upper right corner of the bottom line.
Which statement is true about ∠1 and ∠2? (4 points)
∠1 and ∠2 are complementary because they are a pair of corresponding angles.
∠1 and ∠2 are congruent because they are a pair of corresponding angles.
∠1 and ∠2 are complementary because they are a pair of alternate interior angles.
∠1 and ∠2 are congruent because they are a pair of alternate interior angles.
∠1 and ∠2 are complementary because they are a pair of corresponding angles.
In the figure below, lines m and n are parallel:
Two parallel lines are shown crossed by a transversal. The angles are labeled with number 1-8. The angles on line m where the line is crossed by the transversal are 1, 2, 4, and 3 in clockwise order from top left. The angles on line n where the line is crossed by the transversal are 5, 6, 8, and 7 in clockwise order from top left.
In the diagram shown, ∠7 measures 92 degrees. What is the measure of ∠8? (4 points)
8 degrees
88 degrees
92 degrees
180 degrees
Since lines m and n are parallel, angles 7 and 8 are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent when lines are parallel. Therefore, if ∠7 measures 92 degrees, then ∠8 also measures 92 degrees.

What is the measure of angle x? (4 points)
50 degrees
55 degrees
60 degrees
80 degrees
