CROSSING THE TRANSVERSE

Finding congruent angles in messy diagrams.

Mathematician: ________________________

Below is the board for the game we played yesterday. Several ships have been placed on the
board. For each ship, identify which angles it could jump to (labeling the angles with the same
letter as the ship).

V
C

Which ship has the most possible locations to jump to? Why do you think that is?

A friend says to you, I learned that

If two lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.
Using the board above as evidence, determine whether this is true. Explain your reasoning.
