Parallel Cut by Transversal

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in similar positions at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.

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

Back

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees) when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

If angle 1 is 135 degrees, what is the measure of angle 3 if lines are parallel?

Back

Angle 3 is also 135 degrees because they are corresponding angles.

If angle 6 is 25 degrees, what is the measure of angle 7 if lines are parallel?

Back

Angle 7 is 155 degrees because they are supplementary angles.
