Alternate Exterior Angles: Quick Investigation
The directions for this activity can be found below the applet.
1.
Use the Slope tool to measure the slopes of the two lines g and i. Then, tamper with the gray slider. What do you notice about the slopes of these lines?
2.
What does your observation from (1) tell you about lines (g) and (i)?
3.
If a transversal (in this case, n) intersects 2 lines that have the property that you wrote in response to (2) above, what can you conclude about a pair of pink alternate exterior anglesthat were formed?
