Lines Cut by a Transversal
In this activity, we will compare lines cut by a transversal to compare constructed angles. Blue points can be dragged to manipulate the lines.
1) Consider corresponding angles ().
- What, if any, relationships exist between the corresponding angles when the lines intersect?
- What, if any, relationships exist between the corresponding angles when the lines are parallel?
- What, if any, relationships exist between the alternate exterior angles when the lines intersect?
- What, if any, relationships exist between the alternate exterior angles when the lines are parallel?
- What, if any, relationships exist between the alternate interior angles when the lines intersect?
- What, if any, relationships exist between the alternate interior angles when the lines are parallel?
