Angles Formed by Transversals

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

Define alternate interior angles.

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

Define alternate exterior angles.

Back

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

Front

What are consecutive interior angles?

Back

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

Front

If ∠1 and ∠4 are vertical angles, what can be said about their measures?

Back

The measures of vertical angles are equal.

Front

Identify a pair of alternate interior angles formed by transversal k.

Back

∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles.

Front

What type of angles are ∠10 and ∠2 if they are formed by transversal k?

Back

∠10 and ∠2 are alternate exterior angles.

Front

If two lines are parallel, what can be said about the corresponding angles formed by a transversal?

Back

Corresponding angles are equal when two lines are parallel.
