Transversal Line - (Angles: Corresponding, Alternate, Consecutive, Interior, Exterior)

Two-Column Proofs

1. Match each vocabulary word with its definition given to the right.

_____ Vertical Angles a) Two angles that are next to each other and have a common ray

_____ Alternate Interior Angles b) When two lines are crossed by a transversal, the pairs of angles on
opposite sides of the transversal and outside of the two lines.

_____ Alternate Exterior Angles c) When two lines are crossed by a transversal, the pairs of angles on
opposite sides of the transversal and inside of the two lines.

_____ Adjacent Angles d) When two lines are crossed by a transversal, the pairs of angles that
are on the same side of the transversal and in the same location at each
intersection.

_____ Corresponding Angles e) When two lines are crossed by a transversal, the pairs of angles on
the same side of the transversal and inside of the two lines.

_____ Same-side Interior Angles f) Two angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect.
