● The corresponding angles definition tells us that
when two parallel lines are intersected by a third one, the angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection are known to be corresponding angles to each other. Alternate Exterior Angles ● Alternate Exterior Angles are a pair of angles on the outer side of each of those two lines but on opposite sides of the transversal ● Transversal is a line that goes through two parallel lines. ● The alternate exterior angle theorem states that if two lines are parallel and are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are considered as congruent angles or angles of equal measure. Alternate Interior Angles ● When two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, the pair of angles formed on the inner side of the parallel lines, but on the opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate interior angles. ● These angles are always equal. Same Side Interior Angles ● The theorem for the "same side interior angle theorem" states: If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, each pair of same-side interior angles are supplementary (their sum is 180°) Vertical Angles ● Vertical angles theorem or vertically opposite angles theorem states that two opposite vertical angles formed when two lines intersect each other are always equal (congruent) to each other. Linear Pair ● When two lines intersect each other at a single point, linear pairs of angles are formed. If the angles so formed are adjacent to each other after the intersection of the two lines, the angles are said to be linear. ● If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary, whose measures add up to 180°. Hence, a linear pair of angles always add up to 180°. Triangle Proportionality Theorem (Side Splitter Theorem) ● If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then the line divides these two sides proportionally.
