Transversals Flashcard

Front

What is a Linear Pair?

Back

A Linear Pair consists of two adjacent angles that form a straight line, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What are Complementary Angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What are Vertical Angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

Alternate Interior Angles are pairs of angles that lie between two parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal. They are equal.

Front

What are Alternate Exterior Angles?

Back

Alternate Exterior Angles are pairs of angles that lie outside two parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal. They are equal.

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. They are equal.

Front

What does it mean for two angles to be Supplementary?

Back

Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

If Angle A = 11 degrees and Angle B = 89 degrees, are they complementary?

Back

No, they are not complementary because their measures add up to 100 degrees, not 90 degrees.

Front

What is the measure of Angle 2 if it is given as 138 degrees in a transversal diagram?

Back

Angle 2 measures 138 degrees.

Front

If Angle 1 and Angle 2 are supplementary, which statement cannot be true?

Back

Angles 1 and 2 cannot be complementary, as complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
