What are Vertical Angles?

Back

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

What is a Transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines, often creating various angle relationships.

What are Corresponding Angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in similar positions at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines. They are equal when the lines are parallel.

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on opposite sides of a transversal. They are equal when the lines are parallel.

What are Alternate Exterior Angles?

Back

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

What are Same Side Interior Angles?

Back

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

What are Same Side Exterior Angles?

Back

Same side exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside two lines and on the same side of a transversal. They are supplementary when the lines are parallel.

What is a Linear Pair?

Back

A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The angles in a linear pair are supplementary.

How do you identify Vertical Angles in a diagram?

Back

Vertical angles are located opposite each other at the intersection of two lines. They can be identified by their equal measure.

How do you identify Corresponding Angles in a diagram?

Back

Corresponding angles can be identified by their position relative to the transversal and the two lines. They are in the same position at each intersection.
