corresponding angles
Angles formed by a transversal cutting through 2 or more lines that are in the same relative position.
Corresponding angles refer to pairs of angles that are in the same relative position with respect to a pair of parallel lines and a transversal (a line that crosses the two parallel lines). These pairs of angles are equal to each other. When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the pairs of corresponding angles are on opposite sides of the transversal at each intersection point and the angles have the same degree measure. For example, if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, creating four angles at each intersection point, the top left angle and the bottom right angle are corresponding angles, as are the top right angle and the bottom left angle. This concept is important in geometry, as it can help you find the measurements of other angles when you know the measurement of one angle in a pair of corresponding angles.
