What are Corresponding Angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are the angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to a transversal. They are equal in measure.

If angle G measures 75 degrees, what is the measure of angle H if they are same side interior angles?

Back

Angle H measures 105 degrees (75 + 105 = 180 degrees).
