What is the definition of intersecting lines?

Intersecting lines are two or more lines that cross each other at a common point. This point is known as the point of intersection, and it is the only point where the lines coincide.

What is the definition of parallel lines?

Parallel lines are two or more straight lines that are always the same distance apart and never intersect, no matter how far they extend.

What is the definition of transversal?

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines in a plane at different points.

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Corresponding angles refer to a pair of angles that are formed when a transversal intersects two lines, and they occupy the same relative position at each intersection point. Specifically, corresponding angles are situated on the same side of the transversal and in the same position relative to the parallel lines, making them equal in measure.

What is the definition of alternate interior angles?

Alternate interior angles are a pair of angles that lie on the opposite sides of a transversal line and inside a pair of parallel lines. These angles are equal in measure and are formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, creating a Z shape with the angles located in the inside corners of the Z.

What is the definition of alternate exterior angles?

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that are formed when a transversal intersects two lines, and are located on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines. These angles have the same measure and are congruent if the lines intersected by the transversal are parallel.

What is the definition of consecutive interior angles?

Consecutive interior angles are a pair of angles formed on the same side of a transversal line, where they lie on the inside of two intersecting lines. These angles are consecutive because they are adjacent to one another and share a common side.

What is the definition of corresponding sides?

Corresponding sides are pairs of sides in two similar figures that are in the same relative position to each other, meaning they are in the same location and have the same length.

What is the definition of a perpendicular line?

A perpendicular line is a line that intersects another line at a 90-degree angle, or in other words, they form a right angle where they meet.

What is the definition of a skew line?

Skew lines are two non-parallel lines in three-dimensional space that do not intersect each other and are not coplanar, meaning they are not in the same plane. This arrangement creates a situation where the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other.
