What is a transversal?

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 the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal.

Front

What are same side interior angles?

Back

Same side interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two lines on the same side of the transversal.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the corresponding angles?

Back

The corresponding angles are equal.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the alternate interior angles?

Back

The alternate interior angles are equal.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the alternate exterior angles?

Back

The alternate exterior angles are equal.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the same side interior angles?

Back

The same side interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

How do you find the measure of a missing angle when given one angle formed by a transversal?

Back

Use the properties of angles formed by the transversal to find the missing angle, such as using the fact that corresponding angles are equal or that same side interior angles are supplementary.
