Answer 1

two angles that occupy corresponding positions

Question 2

alternate interior angles

Answer 2

two angles that lie between the 2 parallel lines, (L&M), and on opposite sides of the transversal (T)

Question 3

alternate exterior angles

Answer 3

two angles that lie outside of L&M, and on opposite sides of T

Question 4

Question 5

Postulate 15: Corresponding Angles postulate

Answer 5

if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent

Question 6

alternate interior angles theorm: 3.6

Answer 6

if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent

Question 7

consecutive interior angles Theron 3.7

Answer 7

if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary

Question 8

alternate exterior angles theorem: 3.8

Answer 8

if 2 parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent

Question 9

perpendicular transitivity theorem: 3.9

Answer 9

if a transversal is perpendicular to one of 2 parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the second.
