Angles formed by Parallel Lines cut by Transversal Practice

Front

What are Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

Consecutive Interior Angles are pairs of angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and between the two parallel lines. They are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

Identify a pair of angles that are Alternate Exterior Angles.

Back

Alternate Exterior Angles are pairs of angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines. For example, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, angles 4 and 8 are alternate exterior angles.

Front

What is a Linear Pair of Angles?

Back

A Linear Pair of Angles consists of two adjacent angles that are formed when two lines intersect. The angles in a linear pair are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Front

Identify a pair of angles that are Alternate Interior Angles.

Back

Alternate Interior Angles are pairs of angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two parallel lines. For example, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, angles 7 and 2 are alternate interior angles.

Front

What is the definition of Perpendicular Lines?

Back

Perpendicular Lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). For example, line AB is perpendicular to line AD if they intersect at a right angle.

Front

What is the relationship between Corresponding Angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

Corresponding Angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What are the properties of Parallel Lines?

Back

Parallel Lines are lines in a plane that never meet and are always the same distance apart. They have the same slope and do not intersect.

Front

What is the significance of the Transversal in geometry?

Back

A Transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points. It creates various angles, including corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and consecutive interior angles.

Front

How do you identify Corresponding Angles?

Back

Corresponding Angles are located in the same relative position at each intersection of the transversal with the parallel lines. They are equal in measure.

Front

What is the sum of the measures of Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

The sum of the measures of Consecutive Interior Angles is always 180 degrees.
