Explain why corresponding angles are always equal when a transversal intersects two parallel lines.

Corresponding angles are equal because the parallel lines have the same angle of inclination with respect to the transversal.

A transversal intersects two parallel lines, creating eight angles numbered 1 through 8. Which of the following correctly identifies all four pairs of corresponding angles?

Angle 1 and Angle 5, Angle 2 and Angle 6, Angle 3 and Angle 7, Angle 4 and Angle 8

7th Grade•60 minutes•MMG163 Identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles when two straight lines are crossed by a transversal

I can identify corresponding, alternate, and co-interior angles formed by a transversal crossing two lines.

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, four pairs of corresponding angles are formed.

Alternate and consecutive are the two types of interior angles formed when a transversal intersects a pair of parallel lines.

Vertically opposite angles are always equal when a transversal intersects two parallel lines.
