Corresponding Sides & Angles

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding sides in similar triangles?

Back

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are proportional in length.

Front

How do you identify corresponding sides in two triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides in two triangles can be identified by matching the angles; the sides opposite to equal angles are corresponding.

Front

What is the definition of a transversal?

Back

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

Front

What is the angle relationship when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles are equal, and consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding angles in geometry?

Back

Corresponding angles help establish the congruence of angles and the similarity of triangles.

Front

If angle A corresponds to angle F, what can be said about their measures?

Back

If angle A corresponds to angle F, then their measures are equal.
