What is the relationship between angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal?

Back

Angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal have specific relationships, including corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and same-side interior angles.

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are angles that lie between the two parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal.

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are angles that lie outside the two parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal.

What are same-side interior angles?

Back

Same-side interior angles are angles that lie between the two parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal.

Front

What is the measure of angle x if it is supplementary to an angle measuring 74 degrees?

Back

Angle x measures 106 degrees because 180 - 74 = 106.
