You would get a set of angles whose interrelationships would be more complex.

Is it true that if two lines are crossed by a transversal the two lines are parallel?

A transversal is simply any line that passes through two or more coplanar lines each at different points. So picture, if you will, two lines that are clearly not parallel. I can easily construct a transversal that passes through them. HOWEVER, if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is called the transversal postulate. If the corresponding angles are congruent, than the lines are parallel. This is the converse of the first postulate. So, the answer to your question is NO, unless the corresponding angles are congruent.


Do all corresponding angles measure the same?

No. Corresponding angles are only equal when the lines crossed by the transversal are parallel.


Tell the difference between transversal lines and parallel lines?

The transversal is the line that cuts the parallel line.


What are lines opposite of the transversal lines?

Either parallel lines or longitudinal lines are opposite transversal lines.


What happen to a transversal intersect two parallel line?

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines. If the corresponding angles are congruent then the two lines being intersected are parallel and vice verso.


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.


What are transversal lines?

Transversal lines are made when one line crosses two parallel lines.


How do you calculate transversal lines?

Transversal lines are not parallel and so have a gradient that is different to that of the given lines.


Does a transversal line have to intersect with two parallel lines?

Yes, a transversal line always intersects two parallel lines.


What is a line that intersects parallel lines?

a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
