Angles related to Parallel Lines and Transversals

Definition of parallel lines

Straight lines whose vertical distances are always equal to each other, which do not meet or intersect

Example of parallel lines

Definition of transversal line

A line that intersects two or more straight lines

Example of transversal line

Definition of corresponding angles

An angle pair formed when two parallel lines are intersected by one line

Example of corresponding angles

Definition of alternate angles

Two angles formed when one line intersects with two other parallel lines

Example of alternate angles

Definition of interior angles

The angle formed by the transverse crossing of two lines, and lies between the two respective lines

Example of interior angles
