Transversals

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to a transversal. They are equal in measure.

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines. They are equal in measure.
