Angles+Formed+by+Transversals1

Transversal- a line that intersects two or more coplanar line at different points

Corresponding angles- Two angles are corresponding angles if they have corresponding positions. (Angle H and angle D)

Alternate interior angles- Two angles are alternate interior angles if they lie between the two lines and on the opposite lines on opposite sides of the transversal. (Angle D and Angle E)

Alternate exterior angles- Two angles are alternate exterior angles if htey lie outside the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal (Angle A and angle H)

Consecutive interior angles- Two angles are consecutive interior angles if they lie between the two lines and on the same side of the transversal. (Angle D and angle F)

Name a pair of corresponding angles:

Name a pair of alternate exterior angles: Name a pair of alternate interior angles: Name a pair of consecutive interior angles:

Answers: Corresponding: 1 and 5, 8 and 4, 3 and 7, 2 and 6 Alternate exterior: 4 and 6, 1 and 7 Alternate interior: 5 and 3, 2 and 8 Consecutive: 8 and 3, 2 and 5
