What happens to the angles when a transversal cuts through two parallel lines?

• They can be congruent or supplementary depending on their position

• They become supplementary

• They become complementary

• They remain unrelated

Which angles are known as corresponding angles?

• Angles on opposite sides of the transversal

• Angles on the same side of the transversal in similar positions

• Angles inside the parallel lines on opposite sides

• Angles outside the parallel lines on the same side

Are corresponding angles always congruent?

• No, they are never congruent

• No, only when they are acute angles

• Yes, but only in non-Euclidean geometry

• Yes, when formed by a transversal through parallel lines

How can you identify corresponding angles?

• All of the above

• By their equal measure when lines are parallel

• By their position in similar quadrants formed by the transversal

• By their position on the same side of the transversal

What defines alternate interior angles?

• Angles on the same side of the transversal
