8th Grade Transversals/ Angles

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different 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.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on the same side of a transversal.

Front

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

Back

The corresponding angles are equal.

Front

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

Back

The alternate interior angles are equal.

Front

If two angles are supplementary, what is the sum of their measures?

Back

The sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

Front

If two angles are complementary, what is the sum of their measures?

Back

The sum of their measures is 90 degrees.

Front

Find the measure of angle x if angle 1 = 45 degrees and angle 2 is a corresponding angle to angle 1.

Back

Angle x = 45 degrees.
