Parallel Lines and Transversals Practice

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal. For example, if two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, angle 2 and angle 10 are corresponding angles.

Front

Name a pair of corresponding angles.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. For example, angle 3 and angle 13 are alternate exterior angles.

Front

Name a pair of alternate exterior angles.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. For example, angle 3 and angle 6 are alternate interior angles.

Front

Angle 3 and Angle 6 are examples of which type of angle pair?

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

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

Front

Name the angle relationship between two intersecting lines that are opposite each other.

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal. They are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
