What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

What is the significance of congruent angles in proving lines are parallel?

Back

Congruent angles indicate that the lines may be parallel, based on specific angle relationships.
