Naming Angles with Parallel Lines and Transversals

What is the line called that intersects parallel lines at an angle?

• Bisector

• Diagonal

• Transversal

• Perpendicular

How many angles are formed when a transversal cuts through parallel lines?

• Six

• Four

• Eight

• Ten

What do we need to determine first when naming angle pairs?

• If they are supplementary

• If they are right angles

• If they are acute or obtuse

• If they are on the same side of the transversal

Where are interior angles located?

• On the same side of the transversal

• On the transversal

• Outside the parallel lines

• Between the parallel lines

What are angles called that are on alternate sides of the transversal and located between the parallel lines?

• Same side interior angles

• Corresponding angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Alternate interior angles

What are angles called that are on the same side of the transversal and on the interior of the parallel lines?

• Alternate interior angles

• Same side interior angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Same side exterior angles

What are angles called that are on the same side of the transversal but on the exterior of the parallel lines?

• Same side exterior angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Same side interior angles

• Alternate interior angles

What are angles called that are on alternate sides of the transversal and on the exterior of the parallel lines?

• Same side interior angles

• Alternate exterior angles

• Alternate interior angles

• Same side exterior angles

What are corresponding angles?

• Angles on alternate sides of the transversal and both on the interior

• Angles on the same side of the transversal, one on the interior and one on the exterior, in the same relative position

• Angles on alternate sides of the transversal and both on the exterior

• Angles on the same side of the transversal and both on the interior

How can corresponding angles be identified?

• By checking if they are complementary

• By checking if they are supplementary

• By their relative position on the parallel lines and transversal

• By measuring their degrees
