WHICH ANGLES ARE EQUAL?

Find the special properties of angles formed when two parallel lines are cut by another line called
a transversal.

When line AB cuts across parallel lines MN and PQ, it forms eight angles.

1 Measure these eight angles, writing their sizes on the diagram.

2 Colour all the equal angles the same colour.

3 What do you notice about the eight angles?
