Railway lines with sleepers? Lines of latitude crossed by a line of longitude?
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.
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
Transversal lines are not parallel and so have a gradient that is different to that of the given lines.
The transversal line cuts through the parallel lines that are equal distance apart and never meet together.

Railway lines with sleepers? Lines of latitude crossed by a line of longitude?
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.
No. Corresponding angles are only equal when the lines crossed by the transversal are parallel.
The transversal is the line that cuts the parallel line.
Either parallel lines or longitudinal lines are opposite transversal lines.
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.
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
Transversal lines are made when one line crosses two parallel lines.
Transversal lines are not parallel and so have a gradient that is different to that of the given lines.
Yes, a transversal line always intersects two parallel lines.
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
