What is the relationship between consecutive interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, consecutive interior angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°).

What is a transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

How can you identify corresponding angles in a diagram?

Back

Corresponding angles can be identified by their position; they are in the same relative position at each intersection of the transversal with the parallel lines.
