What is a line?

A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions, composed of an infinite number of points. It has no thickness or width, and is the most fundamental element in geometry.

What is a transversal?

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines in a plane at distinct points. It forms angles with these lines, creating corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, same-side interior angles, and same-side exterior angles when the lines have been cut by the transversal.

What are corresponding angles?

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at two different intersections where a transversal intersects two parallel lines. These angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure and are formed by the same pair of parallel lines being intersected by the transversal.

What are alternate interior angles?

Alternate interior angles are a pair of non-adjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of a transversal line and inside the parallel lines that the transversal intersects. These angles are equal in measure and are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines.

What are alternate exterior angles?

Alternate exterior angles are a pair of angles that lie on opposite sides of a transversal line but outside the two intersected lines. These angles are congruent when the two intersected lines are parallel, making them an important concept in geometry and proving theorems related to parallel lines and angles.

What are consecutive interior angles?

Consecutive interior angles are a pair of angles that are on the same side of the transversal line, where one angle is inside the parallel lines and the other is outside, and they are on opposite sides of the line that crosses them.

What are vertical angles?

Vertical angles are a pair of non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. They have equal measures and are opposite each other at the intersection point. Vertical angles are always congruent, meaning they are of the same size, and they form a straight line when combined.

What is the relationship between corresponding angles and alternate interior angles?

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at each intersection when a straight line crosses two parallel lines. Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal line found between the two parallel lines. The relationship between corresponding angles and alternate interior angles is that they are congruent, meaning they have the same measure when lines are parallel.

What is the relationship between alternate exterior angles and consecutive interior angles?

Alternate exterior angles and consecutive interior angles are related in that they are supplementary angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, while consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and inside the parallel lines. The relationship is that the sum of an alternate exterior angle and its corresponding consecutive interior angle is always 180 degrees.

How can you use transversal angles to determine if lines are parallel?

By examining the relationships between corresponding angles formed by a transversal intersecting two lines, you can determine if the lines are parallel. If corresponding angles are equal in measure, then the lines are parallel. This property stems from the fact that when lines are parallel, the alternate interior angles, corresponding angles, and alternate exterior angles are congruent. Therefore, comparing the angles created by a transversal can help establish the parallelism of lines.
