| parallel planes | planes that do not intersect |
| transversal | a line that intersects two coplanar lines at two different points |
| corresponding angles | 2 angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and on the same sides of parallel lines |
| alternate interior angles | nonadjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines |
| alternate exterior angles | 2 angles lie on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines |
| same-side interior angles | angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and between the parallel lines |
| perpendicular bisector | line perpendicular to a segment at the segment's midpoint |
| distance from a point to a line | length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line |
| rise | difference in the y-values of 2 points on a line |
