What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

What is a line parallel to line AD?

Back

A line that runs in the same direction as line AD and never intersects it, such as line EH.

How do you find the measure of an angle in a transversal situation?

Back

Use the properties of angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines, such as corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles.

What does it mean for lines to be skew?

Back

Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel, existing in different planes.

Front

Identify the properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Back

When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles are equal, and consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
