Parallel Lines and transversals

Front

What are parallel lines?

Back

Lines in a plane that never meet and are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

A line that crosses at least two other lines in the same plane.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines cross.

Front

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

Back

They are equal.

Front

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

Back

They are equal.

Front

If two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are equal, what can be concluded about the lines?

Back

The lines are parallel.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

180 degrees.

Front

If angle 1 is 44 degrees, what is the measure of angle 2 if angle 1 and angle 2 are corresponding angles?

Back
