What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two lines it intersects.

What is the relationship between consecutive interior angles when the lines are parallel?

Back

When the lines are parallel, consecutive interior angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

How can you identify a transversal in a diagram?

Back

A transversal can be identified as a line that crosses two or more other lines, creating various angle pairs.

Front

What is the significance of angle pairs formed by a transversal?

Back

Angle pairs formed by a transversal help in determining the relationships between the lines, such as whether they are parallel.
