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.

How do you use transverse in a sentence?
Transverse means lying and exending across.
What is a angle cut but a transversal?
What is a angle on the opposite side of the transversal
What is a transversal?
A transversal is a line that crosses more than one line.
How can you remember Alternate Interior Angles?
they are alternate (which means opposite of) the transversal and they are INTERIOR (inside) the paralell lines
What is a line that intersects two parallel lines?
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
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.
