Look at the diagram of the scenario below. A steep downhill ski slope is intersected at an angle by a less steep ski slope. Safety fences need to be set up in the locations shown. The angles of the fences, angles 1 and 2, can be determined by finding the relationship between the angles a and b. 145 35 a. Draw a geometric diagram of this scenario using two parallel lines and one transversal. (Remember that a transversal is a line which cuts across parallel lines.) Label the angles, parallel lines, and transversal as indicated in the diagram above.
