Transversals with Equations

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.

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.
