2. 1.

   Milo checks the two rails of a ladder. ∠DGH and ∠GHQ are same-side interior angles, m∠DGH = 68° and m∠GHQ = 112°. Is line DF parallel to line QS?

   • No: same-side interior angles must be equal.
   • No: 112° is an obtuse angle.
   • Yes: the angles add to 180°.
3. 2.

   Noah checks two window bars. ∠FGH and ∠GHQ are alternate interior angles, m∠FGH = 64° and m∠GHQ = 66°. Is line DF parallel to line QS?

   Use the picture in question 1.

   • No: alternate interior angles must add to 180°.
   • Yes: the lines look parallel in the sketch.
   • No: 64° and 66° are not equal.
4. 3.

   Pia checks two streets on a map. ∠UGD and ∠QHV are same-side exterior angles, m∠UGD = 95° and m∠QHV = 95°. Is line DF parallel to line QS?

   Use the picture in question 1.

   • Yes: the lines look parallel in the sketch.
   • No: the angles add to 190°, not 180°.
   • Yes: the two angles are equal.
5. 4.

   Ren draws two lines on paper. Which fact proves that line DF ∥ line QS?

   Use the picture in question 1.

   • m∠UGF + m∠FGH = 180°
   • m∠DGH = m∠GHQ
   • m∠UGD = m∠FGH
   • m∠UGF = m∠GHS

   Tala checks two bike lanes. Which fact proves that line DF ∥ line QS?

   Use the picture in question 1.

   • m∠DGH = m∠GHS
   • m∠FGH = m∠GHS
   • m∠QHV = m∠GHS
   • m∠GHQ + m∠QHV = 180°
7. 6.

   Zee checks two stripes on a rug. Which fact proves that line DF ∥ line QS?

   Use the picture in question 1.

   • m∠FGH + m∠GHQ = 180°
   • m∠FGH + m∠GHS = 180°
   • m∠FGH + m∠UGF = 180°
   • m∠UGD = m∠UGF
8. 7.

   Ari draws two lines in crayon. Which fact proves that line DF ∥ line QS?

   Use the picture in question 1.

   • m∠UGD = m∠SHV
   • m∠UGD + m∠SHV = 180°
   • m∠UGD = m∠FGH
   • m∠SHV = m∠QHV
