Corresponding Angles are in Corresponding Positions
Alternate interior angles are in between lines A & B and Alternate Exterior Angles are outside
A transversal line is any line that intersects two or more other lines, creating various angle
relationships, such as corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and consecutive
interior angles, especially when the other lines are parallel.
Consecutive Interior angles are inside lines A & B and on the same side of line T (transversal)
Corresponding Angles Congruence Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line,
then the corresponding angles are congruent
Alternative Interior Angles Congruence Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal
line, then alternate interior angles are congruent.
Alternate Exterior Angles Congruence Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal
line, then alternate exterior angles are congruent
Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, the
consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
Lines are perpendicular if they intersect at 90 degrees
Lines are skew if they are not coplanar and never intersect
Lines are parallel if they never intersect and are coplanar
Planes are parallel if they do not intersect
The parallel postulate: for a given line and a point not on it, there is exactly one line through the
point that is parallel to the given line
The Perpendicular Postulate: for any given line and any point not on that line, there exists
exactly one line through that point that is perpendicular to the given line.
