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.
