Front

What is the significance of corresponding angles when two lines are crossed by a transversal?

Back

Corresponding angles are equal when the lines are parallel.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines; they are equal if the lines are parallel.

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines; they are supplementary if the lines are parallel.
