Explore! Parallel Lines Intersected by a Transversal
a and b are parallel lines. They are cut by transversal c. Drag the blue points on c to move the transversal.
How does this affect the angles formed by the intersection of a and b with c?
Which angles are always congruent?
Which angles are always supplementary?
Note: Do not allow the blue points to fall inside the parallel lines or the angles will disappear!
