2. When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, how

can you use a translation to describe how angles
are related? 5. Which angles are congruent to ∠8?

6. If m∠4 = 70°, what is m∠6? Explain.

3. How many angles are created when two parallel

lines are cut by a transversal? How many different
angle measures are there? 7. If m∠1 = 95°, write an equation that could be
used to find the measure of ∠8. Find m∠8.

8. What must x equal if line a is parallel to line b?
