Definitions Chapter 6 Flashcards
Congruent triangles
Are triangles in which corresponding angles and corresponding angles and corresponding sides are congruent
Congruent circles
Are circles with congruent radii
Transversal
A line that intersects two or more distinct coplanar lines in two or more distinct points
Alternate interior angles
Angles such as angle 3 and angle 6, which are numbered on opposite sides of the transversal and between the other two lines
Alternate exterior angles
Angles such as angle 1 and angle 8; these angle numbers are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the other two lines
Corresponding angles
are angles such as angle 2 and angle 6. These angle numbers are on the same side of the transversal and on the same side of their respective lines. Angle 3 and angle 7 form another pair of corresponding angles
