Parallel Lines Cut by Transversal

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 two or more other lines.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and between the two lines.

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

Back

They are equal.

Front

If two lines are cut by a transversal and the consecutive interior angles are supplementary, what can be said about the lines?

Back

The lines are parallel.

Front

What is the relationship between vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are always equal.
