What are Same-Side Exterior or Interior Angles?

When two parallel lines are cut by a third intersecting line, called a transversal
line, eight angles are formed. These angles form different relationships with
each other, one of them being same-side exterior or interior. Same-side tells us
that both angles are on the same side of the transversal line, and exterior tells us
that both angles are exterior, or outside, of the parallel lines.

Let's think of the parallel lines as hamburger buns. If the angles are outside of
the buns, they are exterior. If they are inside the buns, they would be considered
interior.

In the following figure, angles a, b, c, and d are exterior to the parallel lines.

In this figure, angles a and c are on the same side of the transversal line, so they
have a same-side exterior relationship. Angles b and d also have a same-side
exterior relationship.
