Define 'transversal' in the context of parallel lines.

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more parallel lines.

Explain the relationship between linear pairs when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Linear pairs are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Congruent angles have the same measure.

I can identify angle relationships formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

1
When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.
2
Angles that are linear pairs are supplementary, meaning that they have a sum of 180 degrees.
3
Using the X's and O's mindset, all angles labeled with an X are congruent to each other, and all angles labeled with an O are congruent to each other.
