Chapter 2 Study Guide Flashcards
Same side Interior angles
Two angles that are on the same side of the transversal between the two lines
Alternate interior angles
Angles in the inner side of the transversal but ok opposite sides
Same side exterior angles
Angles that are on the exterior of the parallel lines and the same side of the transversal
Alternate exterior angles
Angles on different sides of the transversal and exterior to the parallel lines
Corresponding angles
Angles of the same measure/ equal in size
Vertical angles
Angles that lie opposite to each other when two lines intersect
Linear pair
Adjacent angles that add up to 180 degrees / two angles that can be combined to make a line
Postulate 2-1: Same side interior angles postulate
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the same side interior angles are supplementary
Theorem 2-1: Alternate interior angles theorem
If a transversal intersects two parallels, then alternate interior angles are congruent
Theorem 2-2: Corresponding Angles theorem
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent
Theorem 2-3: alternate exterior angles theorem
If a transversal line intersects two parallel lines, then alternate exterior angles are congruent
Theorem 2-4: Converse of the corresponding angles theorem
If two lines and a transversal form corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Theorem 2-5: Converse of the alternate Interior angles theorem
If two lines and a transversal form alternate interior angles that are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Theorem 2-6: Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate
If two lines and a transversal form same side interior angles that are supplementary, then the lines are parallel
Theorem 2-7: Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
If two lines and a transversal form alternate exterior angles that are congruent, then the lines are parallel
