Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, how many pairs of corresponding angles are formed? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what a transversal is. A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines.
  • Step 2: Identify the two parallel lines. These are the lines that will be intersected by the transversal.
  • Step 3: Draw the transversal so that it intersects both parallel lines. You will see that it creates angles at the points where it crosses the parallel lines.
  • Step 4: Count the angles formed by the transversal and the parallel lines. Each intersection creates two angles.
  • Step 5: Since there are two intersections (one with each parallel line), you will have a total of 4 angles formed.
  • Step 6: Identify the pairs of corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are the angles that are in the same position at each intersection.
  • Step 7: For each intersection, there is one angle that corresponds to one angle at the other intersection. This gives you 4 pairs of corresponding angles.
  • Transversal and Parallel Lines – A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points. When it intersects two parallel lines, it creates several angle relationships, including corresponding angles.
  • Corresponding Angles – Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at each intersection where a transversal crosses the parallel lines.
