Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two lines are parallel and a transversal intersects them, what can be said about the sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal?
  • Step 1: Understand what parallel lines are. Parallel lines are two lines that never meet and are always the same distance apart.
  • Step 2: Know what a transversal is. A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines.
  • Step 3: Identify the interior angles. When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, it creates angles on the inside (between the two parallel lines) on both sides of the transversal.
  • Step 4: Focus on the angles on the same side of the transversal. These are the two interior angles that are on the same side of the line that crosses the parallel lines.
  • Step 5: Apply the Interior Angles on the Same Side of the Transversal Theorem. This theorem states that the sum of these two angles is always 180 degrees.
  • Step 6: Conclude that if two lines are parallel and a transversal intersects them, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal add up to 180 degrees.
