Transversals

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and in corresponding positions.

Front

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles when the lines are parallel?

Back

When the lines are parallel, alternate interior angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles when the lines are parallel?

Back

When the lines are parallel, corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What are same-side interior angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between same-side interior angles when the lines are parallel?

Back

When the lines are parallel, same-side interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

How do you solve for x in the equation 33 = 7X + 5?

Back

To solve for x, subtract 5 from both sides to get 28 = 7X, then divide by 7 to find x = 4.

Front

What is the sum of angles on a straight line?

Back

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
