Parallel Lines and the Transversal
Question | Answer |
---|---|
alternate exterior angles | outside the parallel lines and are on opposite sides of the transversal.They are congruent. |
alternate interior angles | inside the parallel lines, opposite sides of the transversal; they are congruent |
corresponding angles | Angles on same side of the transversal and parallel lines; they are congruent |
supplementary angles | two angles who sum is 180 degrees |
linear pair | a pair of angles that form a straight line. They are supplementary. |
Vertical angles | a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. They are congruent. |
parallel lines | lines that never intersect |
transversal | A line that cuts across two (or more) parallel lines. |
Complementary angles | two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees |
vertex | The point where two lines meet |
same side interior angles | angles that are inside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal; they are supplementary |
