Notes: Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

What is a transversal?

• A line that never intersects another line.

• A line that intersects two or more lines.

• A line that forms only right angles.

• A line that is parallel to another line.

What is the sum of two supplementary angles?

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 360 degrees

• They are equal to each other.

Which statement accurately describes vertical angles?

• They are angles that are right next to each other and share a common vertex.

• They are angles that are directly across from each other, formed by intersecting lines.

• They are angles found in the same corner position relative to parallel lines.

• They are angles located inside parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles?

• They are supplementary.

• They are adjacent.

• They are congruent.

• They are always 90 degrees.
