Transversal Angles

Front

What are Transversal Angles?

Back

Transversal angles are angles formed when a transversal line intersects two or more lines. They include various pairs of angles such as alternate interior, alternate exterior, corresponding, and same-side interior angles.

Define Alternate Interior Angles.

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. They are equal in measure.

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 in measure.

Define Alternate Exterior Angles.

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. They are equal in measure.

What are Same-Side Interior Angles?

Back

Same-side interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal. They are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

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.

Identify the vertical angle to angle 4 when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Back

The vertical angle to angle 4 is angle 7.

Front

Which angles are considered vertical angles?

Back

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