Transversals & Angles

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify corresponding angles in a diagram?

Back

Corresponding angles can be identified by their position; they are in matching corners when a transversal crosses two lines.

Front

What is the relationship between interior angles and exterior angles?

Back

Interior angles are formed inside the parallel lines, while exterior angles are formed outside the parallel lines when a transversal intersects them.

What is the difference between adjacent angles and vertical angles?

Back

Adjacent angles share a common side and vertex, while vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect and are equal.

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect, and they are always equal.
