Parallel Lines and Transversals Section 3-1
2 lines that do not intersect are either parallel or skew. Parallel lines ( lines) do not intersect and are coplanar. Skew lines do not intersect and are not coplanar.
Parallel planes ( planes) do not intersect. Plane X is parallel to plane Y A line and a plane are parallel if they do not intersect. X Y H G D E A B C F plane Y
A transversal is a line that intersects 2 or more coplanar lines in different points transversal interior exterior
Alternate interior angles are 2 nonadjacent interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal
Consecutive interior angles are 2 interior angles on the same side of the transversal
Alternate exterior angles are 2 nonadjacent exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal
Consecutive exterior angles are 2 exterior angles on the same side of the transversal
Corresponding angles are 2 angles in corresponding positions relative to the 2 lines
