Transversals

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

Name the angle pair formed by a transversal that are in the same position on two parallel lines.

Back

Corresponding angles.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines.

Front

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

Back

They are equal.

Front

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

Back

They are equal.

Front

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

Back

They are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

If angle ∠14 and angle ∠8 are consecutive interior angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

Their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

Identify the transversal in the following scenario: Lines p and q are cut by line r.

Back

Line r is the transversal.
