Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, what is the sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal?
Transversal and Parallel Lines – When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, it creates pairs of angles that have specific relationships, such as corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and interior angles on the same side of the transversal.
Supplementary Angles – Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to 180 degrees, which is the case for the interior angles on the same side of the transversal when intersecting parallel lines.
