Questions and Answers
Define parallel lines and transversal line in geometry.
Parallel lines are lines that will never intersect with each other. A transversal line is a line that crosses two parallel lines.
What angle relationships are created by transversal lines?
Transversal lines create angle relationships such as vertical angles, corresponding angles, and exterior angles.
What are the alternate interior angles in the provided image?
The alternate interior angles are the angle pairs formed by the intersection of the transversal line with the parallel lines.

Study Notes
Geometry: Parallel Lines and Transversal Lines
- Parallel lines are two or more lines that never intersect, no matter how far they are extended.
- A transversal line is a line that intersects two or more other lines, including parallel lines.
Angle Relationships Created by Transversal Lines
- When a transversal line intersects two parallel lines, eight angles are created.
- The angles can be classified into three categories: corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and exterior angles.
Alternate Interior Angles
- In the provided image, the alternate interior angles are 3 and 6, as well as 4 and 5.
- Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that are inside the region bounded by the two lines and the transversal line.
Exterior Angles
- Exterior angles are angles that are outside the region bounded by the two lines and the transversal line.
Congruent Angles
- In the provided image, angles 1 and 8 are congruent to angle A.
- Additionally, angles 2 and 7 are also congruent to angle A.
