Understanding Parallel Lines and Transversals

What are parallel lines?

• Lines that intersect at one point

• Lines that are in the same plane and do not intersect

• Lines that are not in the same plane

• Lines that intersect at multiple points

Which of the following is an example of skew lines?

• Lines that are parallel

• Lines that do not intersect and are not co-planar

• Lines that are in the same plane

• Lines that intersect

In a box, which planes are parallel?

• None of the above

• Diagonal planes

• Adjacent side planes

• Top and bottom planes

What is a transversal?

• A line that does not intersect any other line

• A line that is perpendicular to another line

• A line that is parallel to another line

• A line that intersects two or more lines

Which of the following are corresponding angles?

• Angles on opposite sides of the transversal

• Angles on the same side of the transversal, one interior and one exterior

• Angles that are adjacent to each other

• Angles that are on the same line

What are alternate interior angles?

• Angles on the same side of the transversal

• Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines

• Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines

• Angles that are adjacent to each other

Which angles are considered alternate exterior angles?

• Angles on the same side of the transversal and outside the two lines

• Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines

• Angles that are adjacent to each other

• Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines

What are same side interior angles also known as?

• Corresponding angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Alternate interior angles

• Consecutive interior angles

How can you identify corresponding angles in a diagram?

• They are adjacent to each other

• They are on the same side of the transversal, one interior and one exterior

• They are on the same line

• They are on opposite sides of the transversal

Which of the following is true about alternate interior angles?

• They are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines

• They are adjacent to each other

• They are on the same side of the transversal

• They are always equal
