Angles and Intersecting Lines - Exercises
Opposite angles
Angles φ and α are called opposite angles because they are opposite the point of
intersection of the two lines. Opposite angles are equal. So we have,
φ = α and
θ = τ
Adjacent angles
Angles φ and θ are called adjacent angles because they are on the same side of the
two lines. Adjacent angles sum to 180◦ . So we have,
θ + α = 180◦ and
φ + φ = 180◦
All the angles around the point of intersection sum to 360◦ . So from our diagram
above we have,
θ + φ + τ + α = 360◦
Parallel lines
What are parallel lines? Two lines are said to be parallel if they are the same distance
or equidistant, for every point on each line in both directions for even.

Angles and Intersecting Lines - Exercises
Let’s consider a line intersecting two parallel lines and the angles created.
There are four angles aroud each point of intersections P and Q above. Let’s define
a few terms and properties of the lines of the diagram above.
1. Transversal: This line r intersecting the two parallel lines is called the transver-
sal.
4. Interior angles: Angles b and e are called interior angles and sum to 180◦ .
