Topic 2 Vocabulary and Theorems
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Parallel Lines | Coplanar lines that do not intersect. |
| Perpendicular Lines | two straight lines joined to a common point making a 90 degree angle with each other. |
| Transversal | A line that intersects two or more lines |
| Same-Side Interior Angles | Two angles on the same side of the transversal and between the two lines the transversal intersects. |
| Alternate Interior Angles | Two angles on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two lines the transversal intersects. |
| Corresponding Angles | Two angles on the same side of the transversal, one is between the two lines the transversal intersects, and the other is outside the two lines the transversal intersects. |
| Alternate Exterior Angles | Two angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines the transversal intersects. |
| Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of same-side interior angles are supplementary. |
| Alternate Interior Angles | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. |
| Corresponding Angles Theorem | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. |
| Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. |
| Converse of the Corresponding Angles Theorem | If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. |
| Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem | If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. |
| Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate | If two lines are cut by a transversal so that same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. |
| Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Converse Theorem | If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. |
| Parallel Lines Theorem | If two lines are parallel to the same line, then they are parallel to each other. |
| Perpendicular Lines Theorem | If two lines in the same plane are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other. |
| Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem | The sum of the measures of all the angles of a triangle is 180° |
| Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem | The measure of each exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles. |
