8 Lesson 30: Solving for Missing Transversal Angles

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

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

Front

Define corresponding angles.

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in similar positions at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. They are equal when the lines are parallel.

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. They are equal when the lines are parallel.

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. They are equal when the lines are parallel.

Front

What are complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What are adjacent angles?

Back

Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap.

Front

If angle 4 is 65 degrees, what is the measure of angle 5 if they are supplementary?

Back

Angle 5 is 115 degrees because 65 + 115 = 180.

Front

If angle 1 is 40 degrees, what is the measure of angle 2 if they are corresponding angles?

Back

Angle 2 is also 40 degrees because corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are always equal in measure.
