Math 7 (Week 3)

The document discusses parallel lines and transversals. It defines parallel lines and transversals, and describes the different angle relationships that are formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, including alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, corresponding angles, same side interior angles, and same side exterior angles. It explains that when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, pairs of alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and corresponding angles are congruent, and pairs of same side interior angles and same side exterior angles sum to 180 degrees.

Transversal -
A transversal is a line which intersects two or
more lines in a plane. The intersected lines do
not have to be parallel.

Lines j, k, and m are


j k m intersected by line t.
Therefore, line t is a
t transversal of lines
j, k, and m.
