In geometry, a transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines at distinct points. When a transversal crosses two lines, it creates several pairs of angles that have specific relationships. For instance: 1. **Corresponding Angles**: Angles in the same relative position at each intersection. If the lines are parallel, corresponding angles are equal. 2. **Alternate Interior Angles**: Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two intersected lines.
