Transversal Review

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What are same-side interior angles?

Back

Same-side interior angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are same-side exterior angles?

Back

Same-side exterior angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and outside the two lines.

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 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the same-side interior angles?

Back

The same-side interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

Corresponding angles are equal.
