Transversals

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.

Front

Define Alternate Interior Angles.

Back

Angles that lie between two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal. They are equal in measure.

Front

What are Alternate Exterior Angles?

Back

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

Front

What are Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

Angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines. They are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

Identify the relationship: ∠2 & ∠6.

Back

Corresponding angles.

Front

What is the relationship between Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

They are equal when the lines are parallel.

Front

What are Vertical Angles?

Back

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are equal in measure.

Front

Explain the term 'Transversal'.

Back

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

Front

What is the sum of Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

180 degrees.

Front

How do you identify Corresponding Angles?

Back

Look for angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection.
