Transversals and Corresponding Angles
Transversal
A line is a transversal if and only if it intersects
two or more lines, each at a different point.
Lines cut by a transversal may or may not be
parallel.
98 percent of what we do in Geometry with transversals
will involve parallel Lines
You will know they are parallel because they will tell you,
or they will draw an extra arrow on the lines
When a transversal intersects two lines, eight angles are
formed
