Description: Transversals
Image copyright: My own Creation,2009
1.transversal-A Line that crosses two or more lines.
2.angle-The Amount of turning between two lines meeting at the same point
3.parallel- Lines at the same distance apart
4.perpendicular- Right angles at the horizon
5.adjacent angle- Next to
6.alternate exterior angle-when a outside pair of parallel line intersect with a transversal
7.alternate interior angle-When a inside pair of parallel lines are crossed by a transversal
8.vertical angle- Pair of angles directly across from each other made by the intersecting straight lines
9.acute angle- Angle less that 90˚
10.obtuse angle- Angle between 90˚ and 180˚
11.right angle-Measures 90˚
Key:
*parallel lines-Line Segments, F B& C E

* alternate exterior angle-1&7,4&6
* alternate interior angle-2&3,5&8
* vertical angle-5&7,1&3
* acute angle-6&8,2&4
* obtuse angle-5&7,1&3
* right angles, if any-None
