What is a transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that crosses at least two other lines.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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