Parallel Lines and Transversals

Front

What are parallel lines?

Back

Lines in a plane that never meet and are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

A line that crosses at least two other lines.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are same-side 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 congruent.

Front

If angle B measures 120 degrees, what is the measure of angle S if they are same-side interior angles?

Back

Angle S measures 60 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between supplementary angles?

Back

Two angles that add up to 180 degrees.

Front

If angle 3 is 70 degrees, what is the measure of angle 5 if they are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angle 5 measures 70 degrees.
