Parallel Lines and Transversals Independent Practice

Front

What are parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet. They are always the same distance apart and have the same slope.

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines. They are congruent when the lines are parallel.

Front

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 congruent when the lines are parallel.

Front

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 vertical angles?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The corresponding angles are congruent.

Front

If angle 1 is 70 degrees, what is the measure of angle 5 if lines are parallel?

Back

Angle 5 is also 70 degrees because they are corresponding angles.

How do you classify angle pairs formed by a transversal?

Back

Angle pairs can be classified as corresponding, alternate interior, same-side interior, vertical, or alternate exterior.
