Angles & Transversals

Front

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of a transversal and inside the two lines it intersects.

Front

What are Alternate Exterior Angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of a transversal and outside the two lines it intersects.

Front

What are Corresponding Angles?

Back

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

Front

What are Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

They are equal.

Front

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

Back

They are equal.

Front

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

They are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

How do you find the value of x that makes two lines parallel?

Back

Set the corresponding angles equal to each other and solve for x.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

180 degrees.

Front

If angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

They are equal.
