A transversal is simply a line that passes through two or more other lines . (the lines should be in the same plane) Transversals are important becasue if a transverals passes through or intersects two parallel lines we get some special angle congruences. The alternate interior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal line and inside the lines being transversed. Alternate exterior angles are on opposite sides of the transferal line and outside the lines being transversed. The alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are congruent if the lines being crossed by the transversal are parallel ( NOT to each other, the two alternate interiors are congruent and the two alternate exteriors are congruent.
