8th Grade Transversals/ Angles

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on two different lines cut by a transversal.

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.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines.

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

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

Back

The corresponding angles are equal.

Front

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

Back

The alternate interior angles are equal.

Front

If two angles are supplementary, what is their sum?

Back

The sum of supplementary angles is 180 degrees.

Front

If two angles are complementary, what is their sum?

Back

The sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Front

What is the measure of angle x if angle 1 is 47 degrees and they are corresponding angles?

Back

Angle x is also 47 degrees.
