What are parallel lines?
Click to flip
Parallel lines are lines in a plane that do not meet; they stay the same distance apart and are in the same plane.

How can you identify a transversal?
Click to flip
A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points.
Click to flip
What is created when a transversal crosses parallel lines?
Click to flip
When a transversal crosses parallel lines, it creates angles such as corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles.
Click to flip
What are corresponding angles?
Click to flip
Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.
Click to flip
What is the property of corresponding angles in parallel lines?
Click to flip
In parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal.
Click to flip
What are alternate interior angles?
Click to flip
Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the two lines.
Click to flip
What is the property of alternate interior angles?
Click to flip
Alternate interior angles are equal when the lines are parallel.
Click to flip
What are alternate exterior angles?
Click to flip
Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two lines.
Click to flip
What is the property of alternate exterior angles when lines are parallel?
Click to flip
Alternate exterior angles are equal when the lines are parallel.
Click to flip
How do you determine if two lines are parallel using angles?
Click to flip
If a pair of corresponding angles are equal, then the lines are parallel.
Click to flip
What is a linear pair of angles?
Click to flip
A linear pair of angles is a pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
Click to flip
What can be said about the sum of a linear pair of angles?
Click to flip
The sum of a linear pair of angles is 180 degrees.
Click to flip
What are consecutive interior angles?
Click to flip
Consecutive interior angles are pairs of angles on one side of the transversal but inside the two lines.
Click to flip
What is true about consecutive interior angles if the lines are parallel?
Click to flip
Consecutive interior angles are supplementary if the lines are parallel.
Click to flip
How can parallel lines and transversals be used in real life?
Click to flip
They are used in various real-life applications such as engineering, architecture, and designing roads and bridges, ensuring structures are level and even.
