What are angles called where transversely line crosses two parallel lines?
Different pairs of angles have different names.
What is a quadrangle with no parallel sides called?
A quadrangle or quadrilateral (a shape with 4 angles or 4 sides, respectively). Special names normally come in when you DO have special characteristics, not when you don't.
If alternate interior angles are congruent than lines are parallel what is it called?
It is the transversal line that cuts through parallel lines creating alternate equal angles.
What do you call the angles that are both adjacent and supplementary?
In the context of two parallel lines and an intercept, they are called interior angles.
What is a shape with no right angles and 1 pair of parallel lines?
A shape with no right angles and one pair of parallel lines would be called a trapezoid in the USA, and a trapezium in Britain.
What are angles called where transversely line crosses two parallel lines?
Different pairs of angles have different names.
Can you have cooresponding angles when you have only two intersecting lines?
No. You need two lines (which may or may not be parallel), and a third line, called a transversal, which crosses the other two.
What is a quadrangle with no parallel sides called?
A quadrangle or quadrilateral (a shape with 4 angles or 4 sides, respectively). Special names normally come in when you DO have special characteristics, not when you don't.
What shape has Two sets of parallel sides but no right angles?
A shape with parallel sides but no right angles is called a parallelogram
What are transversal angles?
I think it is when there are 2 parallel lines, then the lines which cut both is called transversal.so, the angles which are between one side of the transversal and a parallel line must be called a transversal angles.
If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal alternate interior angles are what?
When 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal some of the pairs of angles which are formed are called alternate angles whereas other pairs are called interior angles.
What is a four-sided polygon with all sides parallel and congruent?
A four-sided polygon with all sides parallel and congruent is a rhombus. If all the angles are equal, it is a special case of a rhombus called a square.
What is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel called?
A four sided figure with parallel sides is a parallelogram. A rhombus is a special type of a parallelogram with all sides equal. A rectangle is a special form of a parallelogram with all angles equal at 90°. A square is a special form of a rectangle with all sides equal.
Can the equator be called meridian?
No. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and likeall of the others, it crosses all of the meridians.
If alternate interior angles are congruent than lines are parallel what is it called?
It is the transversal line that cuts through parallel lines creating alternate equal angles.
What is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel side and right angles?
A quadrilateral with two sets of parallel side and right angles is called a rectangle. If all the sides are the same size it is also called a square.
What do you call the angles that are both adjacent and supplementary?
In the context of two parallel lines and an intercept, they are called interior angles.
