Refer to the figure for Exercises 4 and 5. 8. Why is m ' n?

F If two coplanar lines are

perpendicular to the same line, then
the two lines are parallel to each
other.
4. Which pair of angles are corresponding G If two parallel lines are cut by a
angles? transversal, then the pairs of same-
F 1 and 4 H 2 and 5 side interior angles are
G 6 and 8 J 8 and 7 supplementary.
5. Which pair of angles are alternate H In a plane, if a transversal is
exterior angles? perpendicular to one of two parallel
lines, then it is perpendicular to the
A 4 and 8 C 3 and 7 other line.
B 2 and 5 D 1 and 4 J If two intersecting lines form a linear
pair of congruent angles, then the
lines are perpendicular.
