Transversals, Angles and Parallel Lines

School Year 20-2025

CORRESPONDING ANGLES

Angles in the same position on the top and on the bottom.

​

The two angles in the picture are both in the UPPER RIGHT.

Types of Angle Pairs

Vertical Angles

Alternate Interior Angles

Alternate Exterior Angles

Corresponding Angles

Same-Side Interior Angles

Corresponding Angles are EQUAL

ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES

​Angles inside the two parallel lines and are on opposite sides of the transversal.

​

In the picture, the two blue angles are Alternate Interior Angles.

Alternate Interior Angles are EQUAL

SAME SIDE INTERIOR ANGLES

​Angles inside the two parallel lines and are on the same side of the transversal. (other names: Consecutive Interior Angles (IXL)

​

In the picture, the two green angles are Same Side Interior Angles.

​Same Side Interior Angles are SUPPLEMENTARY (180°)
