Are alternate angles congruent?

Yes. Alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are congruent.


Parallel lines form congruent alternate interior angles?

Parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles.


Alternate interior angles are?

they are congruent i think


If two lines are cut by a transversal to form pairs of congruent corresponding angles congruent alternate interior angles or congruent alternate exterior angles then what are the lines?

The lines are parallel. The only time you will see correpsonding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles is with a parallel transversal line.


Are all alternate interior angles congruent?

Sometimes they are.


What is the converse of parallel lines conjecture?

If two lines are cut by a transversal to form pairs of congruent corresponding angles, congruent alternate interior angles, or congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel.


Uses of parallel lines cut by a transversal?

There's lots of useful things you can discover when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, most of them having to do with angle relationships. Corresponding angles are congruent, alternate interior angles are congruent, same side or consecutive interior angles are supplementary, alternate exterior angles are congruent, and vertical angles are congruent.


Are alternate interior angles congruent?

Only if the lines cut by the transversal are parallel.


Alternate interior angle theorem?

The alternate interior angle theorem states that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the alternate interior angles formed are congruent. In other words, if two parallel lines are crossed by a third line, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are equal in measure.


If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the alternate interior angles are always?

Congruent

If alternate interior angles are congruent than lines are parallel what is it called?

It is the transversal line that cuts through parallel lines creating alternate equal angles.
