Question 2

Which of the following statements are true?<br>Statement I - If two lines are parallel to a third line, then they themselves are parallel.<br>Statement II - All the eight angles made by a transversal with two parallel lines are always equal.<br>Statement III - If the alternate angles made by a transversal with a pair of lines are $$80^\circ$$ and $$100^\circ$$, then the lines are parallel.<br>Statement IV - If the lines are parallel, then the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.

Solution

Lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other, so Statement I is true. The eight angles are not all equal; they form two groups of equal angles that add up to $$180^\circ$$, so Statement II is false. Lines are parallel only when alternate angles are equal, and $$80^\circ \neq 100^\circ$$, so Statement III is false, while Statement IV is a standard property of parallel lines and is true. Hence only I and IV are true.
