Did you know that alternate interior angles are formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines? This delightful geometry world means that alternate interior angles are always congruent (equal), and thus cannot be supplementary (adding up to \(180^{\circ}\)). If you think about two angles that are \(45^{\circ}\) each on two parallel lines, their total is \(90^{\circ}\). How’s that for a twist in the plot? Now, if we take a transversal that forms \(90^{\circ}\) angles with two parallel lines, there we can find an example of supplementary angles! Since \(90^{\circ}\) + \(90^{\circ}\) = \(180^{\circ}\), this fits perfectly to provide a counterexample. So, keep your angles sharp and be on the lookout for those sneaky supplementary pairs!
