a and b are parallel lines. They are cut by transversal c. Drag the blue points on c to move the transversal. [br][br]Note: Do not allow the blue points to fall inside the parallel lines or the angles will disappear!

In your own words, describe the angles formed by parallel lines and transversals. Give examples to support your answer.
What is the measure of <1?
Describe and correct the error in describing the angle relationship.
There is no indication that the lines are parallel so we cannot assume they are congruent.
Two horizontal lines are cut by a transversal. What is the least number of angle measures you need to know in order to find the measure of every angle? Explain your reasoning.
You only need one angle measure because you can use the angle relationships to determine the angle measures of the rest.
