Understanding Lines and Angles

What are two lines called if they do not intersect and are not coplanar?

• Intersecting lines

• Coincident lines

• Parallel lines

• Skew lines

Which of the following describes lines that lie on the same plane and never meet?

• Coincident lines

• Skew lines

• Parallel lines

• Perpendicular lines

According to the parallel postulate, how many lines can be drawn through a point parallel to a given line?

• One

• None

• Infinite

• Two

What is the term for a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points?

• Parallel line

• Perpendicular line

• Transversal

• Coincident line

Which angles are formed when two lines are crossed by another line and are on the same side of the transversal?

• Alternate interior angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Corresponding angles

• Consecutive interior angles

What are angles called that are on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the two lines?

• Corresponding angles

• Consecutive interior angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Alternate interior angles

Which of the following is true about consecutive interior angles?

• They are equal in measure.

• They are outside the two lines.

• They are on the same side of the transversal.

• They are on opposite sides of the transversal.
