LINES ARE CUT BY A

TRANSVERSAL
A TRANSVERSAL is aline that intersects two or more lines.
 The following angles are formed when a
transversal intersects the two lines.
• The interior angles
• The exterior angles
• The alternate interior angles are two intertior angles that
lie on opposite sides of the transversal.
• The alternate exterior angles are two exterior angles that
lie on opposite sides of the transversal.
• The corresponding angles are two angles, one interior
and the other exterior on the same side of the transversal.
