Parallel Lines cut by Transversal Practice

Front

What are parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet; they are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in similar positions at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.

Front

What are same side interior angles?

Back

Same side interior angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between same side interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, same side interior angles are supplementary (they add up to 180 degrees).

Front

How do you solve for x in the equation 2x - 3 = 65?

Back

To solve for x, add 3 to both sides to get 2x = 68, then divide both sides by 2 to find x = 34.

Front

What is the value of c if c = 48?

Back

The value of c is 48.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Front

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are equal.
