Transversal: A line that intersects two coplanar lines at two distinct points. Identifying Angles a b c k l m How many angles are formed by a transversal?
Identifying Angles Alternate Interior Angles: Nonadjacent interior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal. Same-Side Interior Angles: Angles that lie on the same side of the transversal between the two lines it intersects Corresponding Angles: Angles that lie on the same side of the transversal in corresponding positions relative to the two lines it intersects
Identifying Angles Alternate Interior Angles: and are alternate interior angles Same-Side Interior Angles: and are same-side interior angles (AKA co-interior angles) Corresponding Angles: and are corresponding angles Also:
Properties of Parallel Lines t 1 l m 2 Postulate 3-1: Corresponding Angles Postulate: If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent. Note: Notation for parallel lines
