Corresponding Angles Flashcards

Angles that are in the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others.

If two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, the corresponding angles are equal.

A line that crosses two or more other lines.

Corresponding angles are equal when the lines are parallel.

Corresponding angles form an 'F' shape when the lines are parallel.

If one corresponding angle is 50°, the other corresponding angle is also 50°.

If the lines are not parallel, corresponding angles are not necessarily equal.

Look for angles in matching corners of the 'F' shape formed by the transversal and parallel lines.

Corresponding angles can be seen in railway tracks crossed by a bridge or road.

This is due to the parallel nature of the lines and the consistent spacing between them.
