Corresponding Angles – Definition – Examples Two angles that are corresponding are those that are located on the same side of a transversal in identical relative position. They typically result from a transversal cutting two lines, whether they are parallel or not. In other words corresponding angles formed when a transversal line cuts across two […]

Alternate Angles: Definition and Types In this tutorial we will learn definition and types of alternate angles. In geometry, alternate angles are a special kind of angles. Alternate interior angles are formed when a transversal intersect two parallel or non-parallel lines. If a straight line intersects two lines, in the same plane at two distinct […]

Alternate Interior Angles – Definition – Examples – Properties What are alternate interior angles? The term alternate interior angles is often used when two lines are intersected by a third line(transversal). Alternate interior angles are formed when two lines are intersected by a third line. The third line is known as the transversal line. Alternate […]
