Angles Created by Two Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

Types of Angles Created by Two Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Check the boxes to see different types of angles created when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
In this investigation, you’ll discover relationships among the angles formed when two parallel lines are intersected by a third line, called a transversal.
Use the applet to help you answer the following questions. You must answer these questions on [u]binder paper[/u] which will be stamped when you complete the investigation.[br][br][br][br]1. Check each box and observe where each pair of angles is located. Describe the following: [br][br] Corresponding angles - [br][br] Same-side interior angles - [br][br] Alternate interior angles - [br][br] Alternate exterior angles - [br][br][br]2. Use the angle tool to measure each pair of angles listed below and record their measures:[br][br][u]Corresponding[/u]: m[math]\angle[/math]BGD = __________ m[math]\angle[/math]FHG = ___________ [br][br][u]Same-side interior[/u]: m[math]\angle[/math]AGH = _________ m[math]\angle[/math]GHC = ___________[br][br][u]Alternate interior[/u]: m[math]\angle[/math]GHC = _________ m[math]\angle[/math]HGB = ___________[br][br][u]Alternate exterior[/u]: m[math]\angle[/math]BGD = _________ m[math]\angle[/math]CHE = ___________[br][br][br]3. Based on your observations, fill in the blank for each statement: [br][br]Corresponding angles are ____________________. [br][br]Same-side interior angles are _______________________. [br][br]Alternate interior angles are ____________________.[br][br]Alternate exterior angles are ____________________.[br][br][br][br]4. Drag point D to the right and left. Are these relationships are still true when the angles change?
