Are alternate angles congruent?

Yes. Alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are congruent.


Parallel lines form congruent alternate interior angles?

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.

What are necessary when proving that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent?

A. Corresponding parts of similar triangles are similar.B. Alternate interior angles are supplementary.C. Alternate interior angles are congruent.D. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are 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.


Are alternate interior angles complementary?

Not NecessarilyAlternate interior angles are congruent, or equal. They have the same angle measure, while complementary means they add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, the only time alternate interior angles are complementary is when they are exactly 45 degrees.
