Angles formed by Parallel Lines cut by Transversal Practice

Front

What are the angle relationships formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal?

Back

The angle relationships include corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles.

Front

Define corresponding angles in the context of parallel lines and a transversal.

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to the transversal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

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

Front

How can you identify if two lines are parallel using angle relationships?

Back

If a pair of alternate interior angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel.

Front

What is the relationship between perpendicular lines and parallel lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle (90 degrees), while parallel lines never intersect.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

If angle 3 and angle 5 are consecutive interior angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

If angle 3 and angle 5 are consecutive interior angles, then their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is the significance of skew lines in geometry?

Back

Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel; they exist in different planes.
