What is the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem?

Back

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate interior angles is congruent.

Solve for x: If lines l and m are parallel and m∠1 = 3x + 10, m∠2 = 5x - 2, find x.

Back

x = 22.

Front

What is the definition of Transversal?

Back

A line that intersects two or more lines at different points.
