Identifying Interior and Exterior Angles in Rectangle ABCD: A Geometric Analysis

Question


Look at the rectangle ABCD below.

What type of angles are labeled with the letter A in the diagram?

What type are marked labeled B?

AAABBBCCCDDDBBAA

Step-by-Step Solution

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.

Answer

A - corresponding

B - adjacent
