Transversals Vocab

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to a transversal. They are equal in measure.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines. They are equal in measure.

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines. They are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are equal in measure.

Front

Identify the alternate interior angle to angle 3.

Back

Angle 5.

Front

What is the relationship between angle 1 and angle 3?

Back

They are corresponding angles.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines. They are equal in measure.

Front

What is the sum of consecutive interior angles?

Back

180 degrees.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the corresponding angles?

Back

They are equal.

Front

If angle C and angle P are consecutive interior angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

They are supplementary.
