The figure below shows parallel lines cut by a transversal:
A pair of parallel lines is shown with arrowheads on each end. There is an arrow in the middle of each. A transversal cuts these two lines. An angle formed between the top parallel line and the transversal on the outer right side is marked 1. Another angle formed between the bottom parallel line and the transversal on the inner right side is marked 2.
Which statement is true about ∠1 and ∠2? (5 points)
∠1 and ∠2 are complementary because they are a pair of corresponding angles.
∠1 and ∠2 are congruent because they are 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 pair of alternate interior angles.
The correct statement is:
∠1 and ∠2 are congruent because they are a pair of corresponding angles.
