What does transversal lines mean?
They are lines that cut through parallel lines
What does alternate exterior angle mean?
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the two pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, and the angles in each pair are congruent.
What does it mean when the angles are on the same side?
Usually this is about parallel lins and transversals. Imagine 2 horizontal lines which are parallel. Now imagine a transverse line from uper left to lower right crossing thru the two parallel lines. This makes 8 angles. The top line and the transversal create an angle on the upper right. So does the lower line and the transversal. These are on the same side of the transrevsal.
A pair of angles formed by two lines intersected by a third?
There are at least 28 different pairs of angles: 66 if the first two lines are not parallel. Your question needs to be more specific as to which angles you mean.
What does corresponding lines mean?
When two lines are crossed by another line (called the Transversal)
What does transversal lines mean?
They are lines that cut through parallel lines
What does alternate exterior angle mean?
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the two pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, and the angles in each pair are congruent.
What does parallel lines bisected by a transversal line mean?
There are three lines in the figure described. Two of the lines never meet, these are the parallel lines. The third line crosses the other lines, it is the "transversal" line. If the parallel lines are really line SEGMENTS then each can be bisected (cut into two equal lengths) This is what your description states.
What does alternate mean in math terms?
When a transversal line cuts through parallel lines it creates equal alternate angles.
What does alternate interior angle mean?
Alternate int angles are two interior angles which lie on different parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal
What does it mean when the angles are on the same side?
Usually this is about parallel lins and transversals. Imagine 2 horizontal lines which are parallel. Now imagine a transverse line from uper left to lower right crossing thru the two parallel lines. This makes 8 angles. The top line and the transversal create an angle on the upper right. So does the lower line and the transversal. These are on the same side of the transrevsal.

What does a correspnding angle mean?
When a transversal line cuts through parallel lines corresponding angles are formed and they are equal in sizes Alternate angles are also formed and they too are equal in size
What does it mean when lines are parell?
_____ lines are parallel and run _____.
Does an octagon have parrellel sides?
You mean lines or sides? But,octagon has parallel lines. Um, four parallel lines.
What is transversal mean?
a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points
