Based on the analysis of the worksheet "Angle Pair Relationships with Parallel Lines," here are the definitions for each type of angle pair formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines:
1.
Corresponding Angles: These are angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where the transversal crosses the two parallel lines. For example, they could both be in the upper right corner of their respective intersections. When the lines are parallel, corresponding angles are congruent (equal in measure).
2.
Same Side Interior Angles: These are angles that are located on the same side of the transversal and between the two parallel lines (in the interior region). When the lines are parallel, same side interior angles are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.
3.
Alternate Interior Angles: These are angles that are located on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two parallel lines (in the interior region). When the lines are parallel, alternate interior angles are congruent (equal in measure).
4.
Alternate Exterior Angles: These are angles that are located on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines (in the exterior region). When the lines are parallel, alternate exterior angles are congruent (equal in measure).
In summary, when a transversal cuts through a pair of parallel lines:
- Corresponding angles are equal.
- Same-side interior angles are supplementary (add to 180°).
- Alternate interior angles are equal.
- Alternate exterior angles are equal.
