Corresponding Sides and Angles

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

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

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the definition of congruent shapes?

Back

Congruent shapes are figures that have the same size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent?

Back

Two triangles can be determined to be congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal, using criteria such as SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or HL.

What is the definition of a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the definition of vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect, and they are always equal.

Front

How can you identify corresponding sides in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides in congruent triangles are the sides that are opposite equal angles and are of equal length.
