Transcribed Image Text:### Geometry Exercise - Identifying Angle Relationships
**Question:**
1. Describe the relationship between angle 1 and angle 3. Are they congruent or supplementary? How do you know?
Use appropriate vocabulary.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The given diagram features two parallel lines \( a \) and \( b \), intersected by a transversal. The transversal creates several angles, labeled as follows:
- Angle 1 (above line \( a \) on the left side of the transversal)
- Angle 2 (below line \( a \), immediately next to angle 1, on the right side of the transversal)
- Angle 3 (below line \( b \) on the left side of the transversal)
- Angle 4 (below line \( b \), immediately next to angle 3, on the right side of the transversal)
**Analysis:**
Angles 1 and 3 are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, and they occupy the same relative position at each intersection. According to the Corresponding Angles Postulate, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent.
Therefore, **angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent**. This means they have equal measures.
