Equip yourself with these parallel lines and transversal worksheets to identify angle relationships. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior and exterior angles are congruent, and consecutive interior angles are supplementary. These PDF resources, complete with answer keys, provide exercises to apply these postulates and find the measures of the unknown interior, exterior, alternate, consecutive, and corresponding angles.

Identifying Angle Relationships

Examine the relationships between angles formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, and identify the angles as interior, exterior, consecutive, and corresponding angles.

Identifying Angle Relationships

Alternate Angles in Parallel Lines

Use our alternate angles in parallel lines worksheets to find unknown angles by applying the alternate angle theorem, which states that alternate interior and exterior angles are congruent.

Alternate Angles in Parallel Lines

Interior Angles in Parallel Lines

Angles between lines on the opposite sides of the transversal are called interior angles and are congruent. Determine the measure of the unknown interior angles using this postulate.

Interior Angles in Parallel Lines

Exterior Angles in Parallel Lines

Assist grade 8 and high school children in identifying and finding the measures of exterior angles formed on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines in these printables.

Exterior Angles in Parallel Lines

Interior and Exterior Angles in Parallel Lines

In these worksheets on angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal, identify whether the two highlighted angles are same-side or alternate angles and apply the properties to find unknown angles.

Interior and Exterior Angles in Parallel Lines

Corresponding Angles in Parallel Lines

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. Apply this property to find angle measures in these corresponding angles in parallel lines worksheets.

Corresponding Angles in Parallel Lines

Supplementary and Congruent Angles in Parallel Lines

Complete these practice sheets identifying supplementary and congruent angles. Pairs of angles are congruent if they are vertical, corresponding, or alternate. They are supplementary if they are linear or consecutive.
