Transversal Angle Pairs Test Practice/Review

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

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

Back

Corresponding angles are equal.

Front

If angle 1 = 27°, what is the measure of angle 2 if angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles?

Back

Angle 2 = 27°.

Front

If angle 3 and angle 4 are alternate interior angles and angle 3 = 108°, what is the measure of angle 4?

Back

Angle 4 = 108°.

Front

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

Back

The sum of the measures of angles on a straight line is 180°.

Front

If angle A + angle B = 180°, what type of angles are angle A and angle B?

Back

Angle A and angle B are supplementary angles.
