This video lesson introduces 8th graders to parallel lines and their properties in geometry. It covers the definition of parallel lines, the concept of transversals, and the properties of angles formed by these lines. The lesson explains corresponding angles, alternate interior and exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles, highlighting their congruence or supplementary nature. The video concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.

What is the definition of parallel lines?

• Lines that are perpendicular

• Lines that intersect at one point

• Lines that never intersect

• Lines that form a right angle

What are corresponding angles?

• Angles that are on the same position on the parallel lines in relation to the transversal

• Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the parallel lines

• Angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines
