Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines. They are equal in measure when the lines are parallel.
