Geometry Transversal and Angle Review

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.

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.

Front

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.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The corresponding angles are equal.

Front

If two lines are parallel, what can be said about alternate interior angles?

Back

The alternate interior angles are equal.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

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

Back

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using their slopes?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.
