Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Vocab

Front

What is the angle relationship when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal and the angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines?

Back

Alternate Exterior Angles

Front

What do we call angles that are on the same side of the transversal and between the two parallel lines?

Back

Consecutive Angles

Front

If angle 4 is given, how do you find its corresponding angle?

Back

The corresponding angle to angle 4 is angle 8.

What is the relationship between angles c and f if they are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines?

Back

Alternate Interior Angles

Front

What is the angle relationship when two angles are formed by two intersecting lines and are opposite each other?

Back

Vertical Angles

Front

Define Corresponding Angles in the context of parallel lines and a transversal.

Back

Corresponding Angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines when cut by a transversal.

Front

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between angles that are on the same side of the transversal and outside the parallel lines?

Back

Alternate Exterior Angles.

Front

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

Back

They are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

What is the definition of a transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.
