Angle Measures Formed by Parallel Lines Cut by Transversal

Lines that never meet or cross and stay the same distance apart

• perpendicular lines

• parallel lines

• intersecting lines

• transversal

When two lines are cut by a transversal, a pair of angles on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two lines

• alternate interior angles

• same-side interior angles

• vertical angles

• corresponding angles

When two lines are cut by a transversal, a pair of angles on the same side of the transversal and outside the two lines

• alternate exterior angles

• vertical angles

• corresponding angles

• same-side exterior angles

A pair of angles that occupy the same location at each intersection when two lines are intersected by one or more transversals

• complementary angles

• supplementary angles

• corresponding angles

• linear pair

• True

• False

• True

• False

Vertical angles are always

• acute

• total 180 degrees

• congruent (equal measures)

• adjacent angles

What is the vertical angle to angle 4?

• Angle 2

• Angle 6

• Angle 8

• Angle 7
