Angles Formed By Transversals Kate D., Alexis B., Kelsey R., Madison B.

__Transversal:__A line that intersects 2 or more coplanar lines at different points.



__Questions:__

1. If line AB and line CD are parallel then which line is the transversal?

2. Name a pair of alternate exterior angles.

3. Name a pair of alternate interior angles.

4. Name a pair of consecutive interior angles.

5. Name a pair of corresponding angles.

Answers:

1. Line GF is the transversal. 2. An alternate exterior angle is when they lie outside the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Angle 8 and Angle 1 are alternate exterior angles. 3. An Alternate interior angles are when the alternate interior angles lie between the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Angles 7 and 6, Angles 5 and 8, Angles 1 and 4, Angles 2 and 3. 4. A Consecutive interior angle is when the angles lie between the 2 lines and on the same side of the transversal. Angles 5 and 3, and Angles 6 and 4. 5. Corresponding Angles are when the angles have corresponding positions. Angles 6 and 2, Angles 4 and 8, Angles 5 and 1, Angles 3 and 7.
