Angle Relationships Flashcards
Parallel Lines
Two lines with the same slope that never intersect
Transversal
A line that intersects two parallel lines
Exterior
Outside of parallel lines
Interior
Inside of parallel lines
Corresponding Angles
Angles in the same relative position: Angles in the matching corners (congruent)
Vertical Angles
Pairs of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines (congruent)
Congruent
Equal
Supplementary
Adds to 180 degrees
Linear Pair
Adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines that add up to 180 degrees (supplementary)
Adjacent
Right next to
Alternate Interior Angles
Angles inside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal (congruent)
Alternate Exterior Angles
Angles outside the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal (Congruent)
Same Side Interior Angles
Angles inside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversals (Supplementary)
Same Side Exterior Angles
Angles outside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal (Supplementary)
Alternate
Different sides of the transversal
