This diagram of airport runway intersections shows two parallel runways. A taxiway crosses both runways.


How are ∠1 and ∠5 related?

They are same-side interior angles
They are corresponding angles
They are alternate interior angles



This diagram of airport runway intersections shows two parallel runways A taxiway crosses both runways How are 1 and 5 related They are same side

Answer :

The correct answer is:

They are corresponding angles
.

Explanation:

The two parallel runways are cut by the taxiway. This taxiway serves as a transversal.

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are angles that are on the same side of the transversal and in the same relative position compared to the parallel lines.

∠1 and ∠5 are both above the taxiway (transversal). They are also both to the right of their corresponding parallel lines. This makes them corresponding angles.
