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.

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 alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

Two angles that add up to 180 degrees.

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 ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary, what can be inferred about the lines they are on?

Back

The lines are not parallel.

Front

What is the relationship between vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are equal.
