Identifying Angle Pairs

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

Which angles are considered supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles consists of two adjacent angles that form a straight line, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify alternate interior angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are pairs of angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect, and they are always equal in measure.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a linear pair?

Back

The sum of the angles in a linear pair is always 180 degrees.

Front

How can you determine if two angles are complementary?

Back

Two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are interior angles?

Back

Interior angles are angles that lie between two parallel lines cut by a transversal.
