If two lines are parallel, what can be said about the corresponding angles when a transversal crosses them?

Back

The corresponding angles are congruent.

Front

What is the Side Splitter Theorem?

Back

If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides proportionally.
