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 |
