Transversal Angle Relationships

Front

What is the definition of alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Front

What is the definition of consecutive interior angles?

Back

Consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two lines and on the same side of the transversal.

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to the transversal.

Front

How do you identify alternate exterior angles in a transversal diagram?

Back

Look for angles that are outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Front

How do you identify consecutive interior angles in a transversal diagram?

Back

Look for angles that are inside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal.

Front

How do you identify corresponding angles in a transversal diagram?

Back

Look for angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection of the transversal with the parallel lines.

Front

What is the relationship between alternate exterior angles when the lines are parallel?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are congruent when the lines are parallel.

Front

What is the relationship between consecutive interior angles when the lines are parallel?

Back

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary when the lines are parallel.
