Angles formed by Parallel Lines cut by Transversal Practice

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect; they are equal in measure.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to the transversal; they are equal in measure.

Front

How can you identify alternate interior angles in a diagram?

Back

Look for angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and located between the two parallel lines.

Front

How can you identify alternate exterior angles in a diagram?

Back

Look for angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and located outside the two parallel lines.

Front

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

Back

Corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Front

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

Back

Alternate interior angles are equal in measure.

Front

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

Back

Alternate exterior angles are equal in measure.

Front

If two angles are vertical angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

They are equal in measure.
