The lines are parallel. The only time you will see correpsonding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles is with a parallel transversal line.

What do you call the angles outside the transversal?
Corresponding or alternate exterior.
Is this statement true or falseIf two lines are intersected by a transversal so that the alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are perpendicular.?
false
Transversal means what?
A transversal is simply a line that passes through two or more other lines . (the lines should be in the same plane) Transversals are important becasue if a transverals passes through or intersects two parallel lines we get some special angle congruences. The alternate interior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal line and inside the lines being transversed. Alternate exterior angles are on opposite sides of the transferal line and outside the lines being transversed. The alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are congruent if the lines being crossed by the transversal are parallel ( NOT to each other, the two alternate interiors are congruent and the two alternate exteriors are congruent.
What does alternate exterior angle mean?
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the two pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, and the angles in each pair are congruent.
What is special about alternate exterior angles?
Alternate angles on the transversal line are equal
What is the converse of parallel lines conjecture?
If two lines are cut by a transversal to form pairs of congruent corresponding angles, congruent alternate interior angles, or congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel.
What do you call the angles outside the transversal?
Corresponding or alternate exterior.
Are alternate exterior angles congruent?
Only if the lines cut by the transversal are parallel.
Uses of parallel lines cut by a transversal?
There's lots of useful things you can discover when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, most of them having to do with angle relationships. Corresponding angles are congruent, alternate interior angles are congruent, same side or consecutive interior angles are supplementary, alternate exterior angles are congruent, and vertical angles are congruent.

Are alternate angles congruent?
Yes. Alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are congruent.
What is special about alternate exterior angles?
Alternate angles on the transversal line are equal
What angle relationships created when lines are cut by transversal?
