Parallel Lines and Transversals Practice

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

Two adjacent angles that form a straight line and are supplementary.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect; they are equal.

Front

What are same side exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles?

Back

They are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a linear pair?

Back

180 degrees.

Front

How can you identify corresponding angles in a diagram?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

Two angles that add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of adjacent angles?

Back

Two angles that share a common side and vertex.
