2. When two parallel lines are given in a
figure, there are two main areas: the interior
and the exterior.
3. When two parallel
lines are cut by a
third line, the third
line is called
the transversal. In
the example below,
eight angles are
formed when
parallel lines m and
n are cut by a
transversal line, t.
• transversal is a line that
intersects two or more lines (in
the same plane). When lines
intersect, angles are formed in
several locations. Certain angles
are given "names" that describe
"where" the angles are located in
relation to the lines. These
names describe angles whether
the lines involved are parallel or
not parallel.
4. Alternate interior angles
•two angles in the interior of the parallel lines, and
on opposite (alternate) sides of the transversal.
Alternate interior angles are non-adjacent and
congruent.
7. Interior Angles on the Same
Side of the Transversal

Their "name" is simply a description of where the angles are
located.

9. Summary
• Parallel lines are lines that never meet.
• A transversal is a line that intersects 2 or more
(parallel) lines.
• Parallel lines cut by a transversal form 8 angles.
• Pairs of angles will be either congruent or
supplementary.
• Vertical angles are ALWAYS equal, whether you
have parallel lines or not.
