Lesson 12

Alternate Interior Angles

Problem 1

Segments AB, EF, and CD intersect at point C, and angle ACD is a right angle. Find the value of g.

Segment A, B, segment E F, and segment C D intersect at point C. Clockwise, the endpoints are A, D, E, B, F. Angle A, C D is a right angle. Angle D C E is 53 degrees, angle E C B is g degrees.

Problem 2

M is a point on line segment KL. NM is a line segment. Select all the equations that represent the relationship between the measures of the angles in the figure.

M is a point on line segment K L. Segment N M creates two angles, measure a, degrees and b degrees.
A:

a=b

B:

a+b=90

C:

b=90-a

D:

a+b=180

E:

180-a=b

F:

180=b-a

Problem 4

Lines k and \ell are parallel, and the measure of angle ABC is 19 degrees.

Two parallel lines, k and l, cut by transversal line m.
  1. Explain why the measure of angle ECF is 19 degrees. If you get stuck, consider translating line \ell by moving B to C.
  2. What is the measure of angle BCD? Explain.
