Angle Pairs cut by a Transversal

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

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

What are same-side interior angles?

Back

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

Front

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.
