The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify which condition does NOT imply that two lines cut by a transversal are parallel. Let's analyze the conditions one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Transversal**: A line that intersects two or more lines in a plane. - **Parallel Lines**: Two lines that never meet and are always the same distance apart. - **Angles**: Various types of angles formed when a transversal cuts two lines, such as alternate interior angles, co-interior angles, corresponding angles, and alternate exterior angles. 2. **Condition 1: Alternate Interior Angles are Congruent**: - If a pair of alternate interior angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel. - Example: If ∠AGH = ∠GHD, then AB || CD. - **Conclusion**: This condition implies that the lines are parallel. 3. **Condition 2: Co-Interior Angles are Supplementary**: - If a pair of co-interior angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees), then the two lines are parallel. - Example: If ∠BGH + ∠GHD = 180°, then AB || CD. - **Conclusion**: This condition implies that the lines are parallel. 4. **Condition 3: Corresponding Angles are Congruent**: - If a pair of corresponding angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel. - Example: If ∠EGB = ∠GHD, then AB || CD. - **Conclusion**: This condition implies that the lines are parallel. 5. **Condition 4: Alternate Exterior Angles are Complementary**: - If a pair of alternate exterior angles are complementary (sum to 90 degrees), this does NOT imply that the two lines are parallel. - Example: If ∠AGE + ∠FHD = 90°, it does not guarantee that AB || CD. - **Conclusion**: This condition does NOT imply that the lines are parallel. ### Final Answer: The condition that does NOT imply that the two lines are parallel is: **A pair of alternate exterior angles are complementary.** ---
