Math 2 Midterm Review A

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in similar positions at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.

Front

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

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the alternate interior angles are equal.

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and between the two lines.

Front

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

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the consecutive interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

How do you find the value of an angle formed by a transversal?

Back

Use the properties of corresponding, alternate interior, or consecutive interior angles to set up equations based on their relationships.

Front

If angle A is 68 degrees, what is the measure of its corresponding angle?

Back

The corresponding angle is also 68 degrees.

Front

If angle B is 112 degrees, what is the measure of its alternate interior angle?

Back

The alternate interior angle is also 112 degrees.
