1. Transversal- a line that cuts through two or more other lines
2. Angle- the amount of space between two lines that meet at a certain point
3. Parallel- lines that never intersect
4. Perpendicular- right angles that intersect
5. Adjacent angles- ankles that are next to each other
6. Alternate exterior angle- Parallel lines that intersect on the outside
7. Alternate interior angle- Parallel lines that intersect on the inside
8. Vertical angle-angles that are opposite of each other
9. Acute angle –angles that equals 90°
10. Obtuse angle-angles that equal over 90°
11. Right angle-angles that equal 90°
Key:
Segment AC is parallels to Segment BD
