a is parallel to b.
Calculate the angles shown in the diagram.
Given that according to the definition, the vertex angles are equal to each other, it can be argued that:
Now we can calculate the second pair of vertex angles in the same circle:
Since the sum of a plane angle is 180 degrees, angle 1 and angle 3 are complementary to 180 degrees and equal to 65 degrees.
We now notice that between the parallel lines there are corresponding and equal angles, and they are:
Since angle 4 is opposite to angle 6, it is equal to it and also equal to 65 degrees.
Another pair of alternate angles are angle 1 and angle 5.
We have proven that:
Therefore, angle 5 is also equal to 65 degrees.
Since angle 7 is opposite to angle 5, it is equal to it and also equal to 115 degrees.
That is:
1, 3 , 5, 7 = 65°; 2, 4 , 6 = 115°
If one of two corresponding angles is a right angle, then the other angle will also be a right angle.
