Flashcards

Review key concepts visually

Illustrating that vertically opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles sum to 180° for two intersecting lines.Diagram showing corresponding angles, alternate angles, and co-interior angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal.Calculations of vertically opposite, supplementary, alternate, and corresponding angles with given values of 40° and 140°.

🛎️ 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)
