Usually, in geometry, transversal line is the line that intersects two planar lines at two different intersection points. You typically will see the transversal line cut across parallel lines, so you can make associations with corresponding angles, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and vertical angles.
But basically, it is a line that slashes through two lines on the same plane!

What is a transversal angle?
A Transversal angle is a line that intersects a system of lines.
How do you prove that 2 lines are parallel?
To actually prove this, you need a line that cuts across the two parallel lines. This is called a transversal. That creates 8 angles (this would be a lot easier to explain with a diagram). If the lines are parallel, then one of these statements will be true: (i) corresponding angles will be equal (ii) alternate interior angles will be equal (iii) alternate exterior angles will be equal (iv)the interior angles on the same side of the transversal will be supplementary, i.e. add up to 180° Of course, this only applies in Euclidean Geometry. There are branches of Geometry, called Non-Euclidean Geometry which is based around different postulates but that's another story and it is exciting.

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent?
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is the transversal postulate. So the answer is the lines would be parallel. This means that the statement is true.
