Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. What is the relationship between angles 5 and 2? Justify your answer.
They are supplementary.
Justification: Angles 5 and 1 are corresponding angles and are congruent. Angles 1 and 2 are adjacent angles that form a straight angle, so they are supplementary. Therefore, since angles 5 and 1 have the same measure, angles 5 and 2 must be supplementary.
* Note: There are multiple justifications that will work.
