Parallel Lines Vocabulary & Applications Bonus

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 intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

What are same side exterior angles?

Back

Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and outside the two lines.

Front

What is the relationship between same side exterior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

They are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

They are congruent, meaning they are equal in measure.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on two different lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

They are congruent.

Front

What is the equation to find the value of x when given an angle measure?

Back

Set up an equation based on the angle relationships, such as 33 = 7X + 5.

Front

If two angles are same side interior angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

They are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
