This diagram of airport runway intersections shows two parallel runways. A taxiway crosses both runways.
A diagram is shown with 2 vertical parallel runways and a diagonal taxi way through the runways.
Angle 1 is the upper right adjacent angle of the taxi way and the right run way.
Angle 2 is the lower right adjacent angle of the taxi way and the right run way.
Angle 3 is the upper left adjacent angle of the taxi way and the right run way.
Angle 4 is the lower left adjacent angle of the taxi way and the right run way.
Angle 5 is the upper right adjacent angle of the taxi way and the left run way.
Angle 6 is the lower right adjacent angle of the taxi way and the left run way.
Angle 7 is the upper left adjacent angle of the taxi way and the left run way.
Angle 8 is the lower left adjacent angle of the taxi way and the left run way.
How are angle1 and angle5 related?

They are same-side interior angles.
They are same-side interior angles.
They are corresponding angles.
To determine the relationship between Angle 1 and Angle 5, we can analyze their position based on the description provided. From your description:
- Angle 1 is the upper right adjacent angle of the taxiway and the right runway.
- Angle 5 is the upper right adjacent angle of the taxiway and the left runway.
Given that the taxiway is crossing both runways diagonally and the runways are parallel, Angle 1 and Angle 5 are not on the same side of the taxiway. Instead, they are on corresponding sides of the taxiway in relation to each runway. Therefore, they are at the same location concerning their respective runways.
The relationship between Angle 1 and Angle 5 is that they are **corresponding angles**. Corresponding angles are formed when a transversal (in this case, the taxiway) crosses two parallel lines (the runways), and they occupy the same relative position at each intersection. Corresponding angles are congruent (have the same measure) when the lines are parallel, which is likely the case with airport runways.
Hence, the correct response is:
They are corresponding angles.
