Parallel Lines and Transversals Practice

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. They are equal in measure.

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.

What are same side interior angles?

Back

Same side interior angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines.

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines.

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Front

What are linear pairs of angles?

Back

Linear pairs are two adjacent angles that form a straight line and are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.
