IP--Transversals and Angles Pairs

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

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.

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles that form a straight line and are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

How do you find the value of x in the equation 5x + 12 = 7x - 28?

Back

To solve for x, rearrange the equation: 12 + 28 = 7x - 5x, which simplifies to 40 = 2x, so x = 20.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

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

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what can be said about the same-side interior angles?

Back

Same-side interior angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
