Transversals

Front

What are transversals?

Back

Transversals are lines that intersect two or more other lines at distinct points.

Front

Define 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 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 consecutive interior angles?

Back

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

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

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

Back

The corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between consecutive interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

The consecutive interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

What is the definition of parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never intersect and are always the same distance apart.

Front

Identify the relationship: ∠3 and ∠6 when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Back

∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles.
