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 two or more other lines in the same plane.

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 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 angle A and angle G are supplementary, what is their relationship?

Back

They add up to 180 degrees.

Front

If angle P measures 60 degrees, what is the measure of angle C if they are supplementary?

Back

Angle C measures 120 degrees.

Front

If angle B measures 120 degrees, what is the measure of angle Q if they are corresponding angles?

Back

Angle Q measures 120 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of the measures of angles on a straight line?

Back

180 degrees.
