Two Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Line

When 2 parallel lines are intersected by a transversal line, there are 8 angles formed altogether. Any pair of angles selected from these 8 angles must be:

• either congruent or complementary

• either congruent or supplementary

• either complementary or supplementary
