) and label the line CD.
d. Use the line tool to create a transversal that crosses AB and CD.
e. Use the point tool to put a point at each intersection of the lines.
2. Use the angle measuring tool (
) to measure all 8 angles created by these lines.
(if the angle measure is over 180, click the points in the opposite direction.)
