What is the definition of corresponding angles in the context of parallel lines and a transversal?

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles in matching positions when a transversal line crosses two parallel lines. They are always equal.

Explain how you can determine if two angles are corresponding angles.

Two angles are corresponding if they are in the same position relative to the intersection of the transversal and each parallel line.

I can identify corresponding angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines and determine their measures.

1
Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at different intersections when a transversal crosses two parallel lines.
2
Corresponding angles are always equal in measure.
3
If one angle measures 60°, its corresponding angle will also measure 60°.
