angles. The angles labeled 1 and 3 are vertical angles, as are the angles labeled 5 and 7. All four of these angles are
congruent. Notice how these congruent angles alternate back and forth across the transversal as you look down
the transversal. These vertical angles are alternating angles. Angles 1, 3, 5, and 7 are all alternating, and therefore,
congruent. In the same way, angles 2, 4, 6, and 8 are all alternating, and they are all congruent.
Angles 1 and 2 are not alternating, but they do form a line. These two angles are supplementary. Every odd-
numbered angle is congruent to every other odd-numbered angle, and every odd-numbered angle is supple-
mentary, and adjacent, to every even-numbered angle. In the same way, every even-numbered angle is congruent
to every other even-numbered angle, and every even-numbered angle is supplementary, and adjacent, to every odd-
numbered angle.
