Special Angles: Transversals

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 different parallel lines when a transversal crosses them.

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 same side interior angles?

Back

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

Front

If angle 1 = 27° and angle 4 is corresponding, what is the measure of angle 4?

Back

27°

Front

If angle 5 = 63°, which angle is NOT congruent to angle 5?

Back

Angle 6

Front

What is the relationship of angles formed by a transversal?

Back

The relationship can be corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, or same side interior.

Front

If angle 3 = 90°, what is the measure of angle 2 if they are alternate interior angles?

Back

90°

Front

If angle 7 = 45°, what is the measure of angle 8 if they are corresponding angles?

Back

45°
