Angles in parallel lines

Identify and use alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles in parallel lines

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine two train tracks running side by side — they never meet. Those are parallel lines!

  2. 2

    What do we call lines that never meet?

  3. 3

    Drag the angle markers to show which angles are equal — look for the 'F' shape!

  4. 4

    Find angle a when the transversal makes a 70° angle on one parallel line.

  5. 5

    Use the number line to find the missing angle — remember alternate angles make a Z shape!

  6. 6

    If an alternate angle is 50°, what is the other alternate angle?

  7. 7

    Which shape do corresponding angles make?
