1. Angles and Parallel Lines

2. Transversal
Definition: A line that intersects two or more lines in a plane at different points is called a transversal.
When a transversal t intersects line n and m, eight angles of the following types are formed:
Exterior angles
Interior angles
Consecutive interior angles
Alternative exterior angles
Alternative interior angles
Corresponding angles t m n

3. Vertical Angles & Linear Pair

6. Consecutive Angles
Consecutive Interior Angles: Two angles that lie between parallel lines on the same sides of the transversal.
Consecutive Exterior Angles: Two angles that lie outside parallel lines on the same sides of the transversal.

m1 +m7 = 180º, m2 +m8 = 180º 3 4 5 6 7 8

7. Alternate Angles
Alternate Interior Angles: Two angles that lie between parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal (but not a linear pair).
Alternate Exterior Angles: Two angles that lie outside parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal.
