Pairs of Angles Formed
by Parallel Lines Cut by
a Transversal
Parallel Lines
Definition: Parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect.
Illustration: Use arrows to indicate lines are parallel.

Examples of parallel lines
• Sides of the railroad
• Opposite sides of windows, desks, etc.
• Parking slots in parking lot
• Parallel Parking
• Streets
Examples of parallel lines
Streets: Belmont & School
Transversal
Definition: A line that intersects two
or more lines in a plane at different
points is called a transversal.

Line t is a transversal intersecting
line m and line n. n
