types of angles

Question 1

corresponding angles

Answer 1

-2 angles that form an F pattern within the transversal
-will always have the same measurements

Question 2

alternate (interior) angles

Answer 2

-2 angles that form a Z pattern within the transversal
-formed on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines
-will always have the same measurements

Question 3

co-interior angles

Answer 3

-2 angles that form a C pattern within the transversal
-will not necessarily have the same measurements
-sum will add up to 180 degrees
-on the same side of the transversal

Question 4

opposite angles

Answer 4

-2 angles that are opposite each other
-will have the same measurements

Question 4

alternate exterior angles

Answer 4

-2 angles that are outside the parallel lines but on either side of the transversal

Question 5

transversals

Answer 5

-a line or line segment that crosses two or more parallel lines
-when this happens, at least 8 angles are formed

Question 6

perpendicular lines

Answer 6

-lines that intersect to form 90 degree angles

Question 7

parallel lines

Answer 7

-lines that never meet and are always the same distance apart

Question 8

formula

Answer 8

(n-2) x 180 = polygon’s interior angles added up
