49097 - Angle Relationships and Triangle Segments
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| transversal | a line that intersects two or more parallel lines |
| alternate interior angles | formed by two lines and a transversal, are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines |
| alternate exterior angles | formed by two lines and a transversal, are on opposite sides of the transversal and not in between the lines |
| corresponding angles | formed by two lines and a transversal are on the same side of the transversal and on the same sides of their respective lines |
| perpendicular bisector | a line/segement that intersects a segment at its midpoint and at right angles |
| median | in a triangle, connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side |
| midsegment | in a triangle, connects the midpoints of two sides |
| altitude | in a triangle, starts at a vertex and is perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side |
