If a transversal cuts two parallel lines how many vertically opposite angles are formed?

4 i think. Because there are 8 different angles formed and putting them together as vertical oppisites makes 4. hope this is right :)

What are the angles if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal?
A pair of parallel lines with a transversal will have the following pairs of angles. Alternate , Corresponding, Allied internal, allied external and Vertically Opposite. Unfortunately I cannot draw a diagram on this site in order to show you the positions of these angle - pairs.
Are necessary when proving that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent?
A basic knowledge of angles when two parallel lines meet a transversal is necessary.
Why is alternate interior angles similar to corresponding angles?
Because when a transversal line cuts through parallel lines it creates vertical opposite equal angles.
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal angles are supplementary?
When Two parallel lines are cut by the transversal, __________ angles are supplementary
Angles on opposite sides of a transversal?
They are equal alternate angles
What are the angles if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal?
A pair of parallel lines with a transversal will have the following pairs of angles. Alternate , Corresponding, Allied internal, allied external and Vertically Opposite. Unfortunately I cannot draw a diagram on this site in order to show you the positions of these angle - pairs.
What are corresponding and alternate angles?
Parallel lines can have a line crossing both of them. They call that the transversal. Corresponding angles are on the same side of the transversal. Alternate are on opposite sides of the transversal.
What is the definition for the word alternate interior angles?
Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines
What is alternate exterior angles in math terms?
Alternate Exterior Angles are created where a transversal crosses two (usually parallel) lines. Each pair of these angles are outside the parallel lines, and on opposite sides of the transversal.
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.
Are angles that are formed between parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal equal?
Yes
How many pairs of alternate interior angles are formed by two lines that are intersected by a transversal?
Providing that the lines are parallel that the transversal passes through then it will have two equal alternate angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal.
Are necessary when proving that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent?
A basic knowledge of angles when two parallel lines meet a transversal is necessary.
What are angles between the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal?
Not too sure about the given description but they could be equal alternate angles.
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.
What is a pair of angles that lie between the parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal?
Those are "alternate interior" angles. They're always equal.
Why is alternate interior angles similar to corresponding angles?
Because when a transversal line cuts through parallel lines it creates vertical opposite equal angles.
