Lines, Angles, and Triangles

SAT Math· difficulty 3/5

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. One angle measures 115°115°. Which of the following is NOT necessarily 115°115°?

  • A

    the co-interior angle

  • B

    the corresponding angle on the other line

  • C

    the alternate exterior angle on the other line

  • D

    the vertical angle

Explanation

Co-interior (same-side interior) angles are supplementary, so the co-interior angle would be 180°115°=65°180° - 115° = 65°, not 115°115°. Vertical, corresponding, and alternate exterior angles are all 115°115°.
