🛎️ Angles Formed by Intersecting Lines
- Vertically opposite angles are equal
- Adjacent angles on a straight line add to 180°
🛎️ Angles in Parallel Lines with a Transversal
- Corresponding angles are equal
- Alternate angles are equal
- Co-interior angles add to 180°
🛎️ How to Find Missing Angles
- Use equal angles (vertically opposite, corresponding, alternate)
- Use angles that add to 180° (co-interior angles, supplementary angles)
Practice Questions
Test your understanding
If two lines intersect, and one angle measures , what is the measure of its vertically opposite angle?
Correct! 🎉 +10 pointsNot quite right
Vertically opposite angles are always equal. If one angle is , its vertically opposite angle is also .
Two adjacent angles on a straight line are and . If , what is ?
Correct! 🎉 +10 pointsNot quite right
Adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary, meaning they add up to . Subtract from to find : .
Two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. If one co-interior angle is , what is the measure of the other co-interior angle?
Correct! 🎉 +20 pointsNot quite right
Co-interior angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to . Subtract from to find the other angle: .
Two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. If one alternate angle measures , what is the measure of the other alternate angle?
Correct! 🎉 +20 pointsNot quite right
Alternate angles are always equal. If one alternate angle is , the other is also .
Two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. One angle is . What is its corresponding angle?
Correct! 🎉 +20 pointsNot quite right
Corresponding angles are always equal. If one angle is , its corresponding angle is also .
Two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. One angle is , and its co-interior angle is . What is the larger angle?
Correct! 🎉 +30 pointsNot quite right
Co-interior angles are supplementary, so . This gives , so . The larger angle is .
