| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transversal | A line that intersects two coplanar lines at two distinct points. |
| Alternate Interior Angles | Non-adjacent angles that lie opposite sides of a transversal and between the intersected lines. |
| Same-side Interior Angles | Angles that lie on the same side of a transversal and between the intersected lines. |
| Corresponding Angles | Angles that lie on the same-side of the transversal in the same relative positions from the intersection points. |
| Two-column Proof | A convincing argument using deductive reasoning written with statements and reasons aligned in columns |
| Alternate Exterior Angles | Non-adjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of a transversl and outside the intersected lines. |
| Same-side Exterior Angles | Angles that lie on the same side of a transversal and outside the intersected lines. |
| Flow proof | A convincing argument using deductive reasoning the arrows show the logical connections between statements. |
