Angles in Parallel Lines: Identifying and defining elements

Let's review the definition of adjacent angles:

Adjacent angles are angles formed where there are two straight lines that intersect. These angles are formed at the point where the intersection occurs, one next to the other, and hence their name.

Now let's review the definition of collateral angles:

Two angles formed when two or more parallel lines are intersected by a third line. The collateral angles are on the same side of the intersecting line and even are at different heights in relation to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.

Therefore, answer C is correct for this definition.

Remember the definition of angles opposite by the vertex:

Angles opposite by the vertex are angles whose formation is possible when two lines cross, and they are formed at the point of intersection, one facing the other. The acute angles are equal in size.

The drawing in answer A corresponds to this definition.

Remember the definition of adjacent angles:

Adjacent angles always complement each other up to one hundred eighty degrees, that is, their sum is 180 degrees.

This situation is impossible since a right angle equals 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees.

Therefore, together their sum will be greater than 180 degrees.

Let's remember that vertical angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect. They are are created at the point of intersection and are opposite each other.

Remember that adjacent angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect one another.

These angles are created at the point of intersection, one adjacent to the other, and that's where their name comes from.

Adjacent angles always complement one another to one hundred and eighty degrees, meaning their sum is 180 degrees. 

First let's remember that corresponding angles can be defined as a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a transversal line that intersects two parallel lines.

Additionally, these angles are positioned at the same level relative to the parallel line to which they belong.

Alternate angles are a pair of angles that can be found on the opposite side of a line that cuts two parallel lines.

Furthermore, these angles are located on the opposite level of the corresponding line that they belong to.

Let's remember the definition of corresponding angles:

Corresponding angles are angles located on the same side of the line that cuts through the two parallels and are also situated at the same level with respect to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.

It seems that according to this definition these are the angles marked with the letter A.

Let's remember the definition of adjacent angles:

Adjacent angles are angles whose formation is possible in a situation where there are two lines that cross each other.

These angles are formed at the point where the intersection occurs, one next to the other, and hence their name.

Adjacent angles always complement each other to one hundred eighty degrees, that is, their sum is 180 degrees.

It seems that according to this definition these are the angles marked with the letter B.

Let's remember the different definitions of angles:

Corresponding angles are angles located on the same side of the line that intersects the two parallels and are also situated at the same level with respect to the parallel line they are adjacent to.

Therefore, according to this definition, these are the angles marked with the letter A

Alternate angles are angles located on two different sides of the line that intersects two parallels, and which are also not at the same level with respect to the parallel they are adjacent to.

Therefore, according to this definition, these are the angles marked with the letter B

To solve the question, we must first remember that a parallelogram has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and equal.

That is, the top line is parallel to the bottom one.

From this, it is easy to identify that angle X is actually an alternate angle of angle δ, since both are on different sides of parallel straight lines.

Given that line a is parallel to line b, let us remind ourselves of the definition of corresponding angles between parallel lines:

Corresponding angles are angles located on the same side of the line that intersects the two parallels and are also situated at the same level with respect to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.

Corresponding angles are equal in size.

According to this definition $\alpha=\beta$and as such they are the corresponding angles.

Given that the three lines are parallel to one another, one should note that corresponding angles can be defined as a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a line intended to intersect two parallel lines.

Additionally, these angles are located on the same level relative to the line they correspond to.

Given that ABCD is a trapezoid, we can deduce that lines AB and CD are parallel to each other.

It is important to note that alternate angles are defined as a pair of angles that can be found in the opposite aspect of a line intended to intersect two parallel lines.

Additionally, these angles are positioned at opposite levels relative to the parallel line to which they belong.

Given that we are not provided with any data related to the lines, we cannot determine whether they are parallel or not.

As a result, none of the options are correct.

Since the angles are not on parallel lines, none of the answers are correct.

Let's remember the definition of consecutive angles:

Consecutive angles are, in fact, a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a straight line when this line crosses a pair of parallel straight lines.

These angles are on opposite levels with respect to the parallel line to which they belong.

The sum of a pair of angles on one side is one hundred eighty degrees.

Therefore, since line a is parallel to line b and according to the previous definition: the angles$\beta+\gamma=180$

are consecutive.

Given that line a is parallel to line b, the angles$\alpha_2,\beta_1$ are equal according to the definition of corresponding angles.

Also, the angles$\alpha_1,\gamma_1$are equal according to the definition of corresponding angles.

Now let's remember the definition of collateral angles:

Collateral angles are actually a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a line when it crosses a pair of parallel lines.

These angles are on opposite levels with respect to the parallel line they belong to.

The sum of a pair of angles on one side is one hundred eighty degrees.

Therefore, since line a is parallel to line b and according to the previous definition: the angles

γ1​+γ2​=180

are the collateral angles

For the lines to be parallel, the two angles must be equal (according to the definition of corresponding angles).

Let's compare the angles:

$2x+10=70-x$

$2x+x=70-10$

$3x=60$

$x=20$

Once we have worked out the variable, we substitute it into both expressions to work out how much each angle is worth.

First, substitute it into the first angle:

$2x+10=2\times20+10$

$40+10=50$

Then into the other one:

$70-20=50$

We find that the angles are equal and, therefore, the lines are parallel.

To demonstrate that triangle AED is isosceles, we must prove that its hypotenuses are equal or that the opposite angles to them are equal.

Given that angles ABC and ACB are equal (since they are equal opposite bisectors),

And since ED is parallel to BC, the angles ABC and ACB alternate and are equal to angles ADE and AED (alternate and equal angles between parallel lines)

Opposite angles ADE and AED are respectively sides AD and AE, and therefore are also equal (opposite equal angles, the legs of triangle AED are also equal)

Therefore, triangle ADE is isosceles.
