Parallel Lines Cut
Parallel Lines Cut by transversal (definitions)
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Corresponding Angles | Angles in the same position at each intersection where the transversal crosses the two parallel lines. Same position, different parallel line. Angle Measurements are congruent. |
Vertical Angles | Each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines. Formed from an "x." Angles are congruent. |
Congruent | Have the same angle measurement. |
Supplementary Angles | Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees. |
Linear Pair | Two angles next to each other formed by two intersecting lines. These angles create a line (180 degrees) |
Alternate interior Angles | The pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the two lines. Inside the "box." Alternate=opposite. Angle measures are congruent. |
Alternate exterior Angles | The pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two lines. Outside of the box. Alternate=opposite. Angle measures are congruent. |
Same side interior Angles | Two lines that are parallel are intersected by a transversal line, angles inside the box on the same line. The two angles' sum is 180 degrees. |
Same side exterior Angles | When parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, the angles on the same side, but outside the box. The two angles' sum is 180 degrees. |
