What is true about consecutive interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the properties of consecutive interior angles formed when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. We need to identify which statement about these angles is correct.
Answer
Consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
The pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
Answer for screen readers
The pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
More Information
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the consecutive or same side interior angles are on the same side of the transversal and inside the parallel lines. Their sum is always 180 degrees.
Tips
A common mistake is thinking that consecutive interior angles are congruent rather than supplementary. Remember, they add up to 180 degrees.
