What is transversal angle?

They are angles formed by the transversal line cutting through parallel lines


If there are a pair of parallel line can it be more than one tranversal line cutting threw?

If you have two parallel lines, they will be cut through once each by the transversal line (thus, the name). Congruent angles will be formed in each of the respective points where the lines meet.


If two parallel line are intersected by a transversal line what patters can you expect to find in the measures of angles formed?

If the transversal is at right angles, then all the angles will be right angles. If not, there will be only two different measures between the eight angles formed. These will alternate.


What are the angles formed when parallel lines are cut through by transversal line?

The angles formed are supplementary, equal corresponding and equal alternate angles


When are alternate interior angles congruent?

When two parallel lines are both intersected by a tranversal which is a nonvertical line, otherwise all angles formed by that intersection are right angles.


How many angles are formed when one transversal crosses four parallel lines?

16 angles, 8 of each measure - unless the transversal is perpendicular in which case, all 16 angles are right angles.


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.


What are alternate angles in maths?

Alternate angles are pairs of angles that are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. There are two types of alternate angles: alternate interior angles, which lie between the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal, and alternate exterior angles, which lie outside the lines on opposite sides of the transversal. When the lines are parallel, these angles are equal in measurement. This concept is commonly used in geometry to solve problems involving angle relationships.


When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal how many corresponding angles are formed?

Eight angles are formed - four for each line that the transversal cuts through. 2*4=8. Hope this helps!


Angle formed by parallel lines and transversal lines that lie outside parallel lines?

after a TON of research we came p with alternate exterior angles.


Angles formed by a transversal cutting two or more lines and that are in the same relative position?

Corresponding angles
