​Parallel Lines, Transversals, & their Angles

Parallel Lines and Transversals

by Scott Jennings

​Parallel lines

​lines that lie in the same plane and do not intersect

​Straight

​intersect

​Arrows

​Transversal

​a line that intersects 2 or more lines

​

​

​Line a intersects both lines l and m, therefore it is the transversal

​Straight

​intersect

​Arrows

​If 2 parallel Lines are cut by a transversal, then...

• ​alternate interior angles are congruent

• ​alternate exterior angles are congruent

• ​corresponding angles are congruent

• ​same-side (consecutive) interior angles are supplementary

​If 2 parallel Lines are cut by a transversal, then...

​Alternate interior angles are congruent
