Intersecting Lines & Parallel Transversal

Master Linear Pair Axiom, Vertically Opposite Angles theorem, and angle relationships formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines.

01 · INTERSECTING LINES

Linear Pair & Vertically Opposite Angles

CORE THEOREMS

Angle Rules for Intersecting Lines

• Linear Pair Axiom: If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°.

• Vertically Opposite Angles Theorem: If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal (∠AOC = ∠BOD and ∠AOD = ∠BOC).

02 · PARALLEL LINES AND TRANSVERSAL

Transversal Angle Pairs

When a transversal t intersects two parallel lines l ∥ m:

TRANSVERSAL AXIOMS

Parallel Lines Angle Relationships

1. Corresponding Angles are Equal: ∠1 = ∠5, ∠2 = ∠6, ∠3 = ∠7, ∠4 = ∠8.

2. Alternate Interior Angles are Equal: ∠3 = ∠6, ∠4 = ∠5.

3. Consecutive Interior Angles are Supplementary (Sum = 180°): ∠3 + ∠5 = 180°, ∠4 + ∠6 = 180°.
