Unit 3- Day 3- Parallel Lines & Related Angles
Recall that a transversal is a line that intersects 2 other lines at 2 distinct points.
In the applet below, the dashed brown line is a transversal that intersects 2 parallel lines.
Take a few minutes to explore the special relationships among the various types of angle pair formed when a transversal intersects PARALLEL LINES.
As you do, be sure to drag the green points around to change the red and/or blue angle measures that appear.
When a transversal intersects PARALLEL LINES, pairs of corresponding angles are________________________.
When a transversal intersects PARALLEL LINES, pairs of alternate INTERIOR angles are ______________________.
When a transversal intersects PARALLEL LINES, pairs of alternate EXTERIOR angles are ______________________.
When a transversal intersects PARALLEL LINES, pairs of same-side INTERIOR angles are ______________________.
When a transversal intersects PARALLEL LINES, pairs of same-side EXTERIOR angles are ______________________.
