2. angle- the amount of turning between two lines meeting at a point.
3. parallel- a line that is the same distance apart.
4. perpendicular- a line that intersects at right angles to each other.
5. adjacent angle- angles that are immediately next to each other.
6. alternate exterior angle- a pair of parallel lines is intersected by a transversal.
7. alternate interior angle- opposite of a exterior angle.
