Angle Relationships with Parallel Lines and a Transversal

Front

What are Vertical Angles?

Back

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

What are Alternate Exterior Angles?

Back

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

What are Corresponding Angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines in relation to the transversal. They are congruent when the lines are parallel.

What are Same-Side Interior Angles?

Back

Same-side interior angles are pairs of angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and between the two lines. They are supplementary when the lines are parallel.
