What are Corresponding Angles -7th Grade Math

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same location at each intersection of lines. For example, let's say that a pair of parallel lines are being intersected by a transversal line. The two angles on the same location for each intersection will be known as corresponding angles. Also if the two lines are parallel then the corresponding angles will be of the same measurement.

Define an Angle

An angle or angles are types of measurements we use when two lines connect like this:

An angle also has degrees which defies the angles measurements. To make the angle to go all the way around it will be 360 degrees, half way around will be 180 degrees and a quarter way around will be 90 degrees. Angles also have names, The 90 degree angle is called the right angle and the angles less than 90 degrees are called acute angles. The angle which is 180 degrees and higher are called obtuse angles. Angles are used in many situations and jobs. One of the most important job that uses angles is construction worker s because they have to get all the measurements correct to make their design successful. Angles are also in shapes like for example the square has four right angles, and of course there multiple types of triangles and they all have different amounts of different angles but they all have three angles.

Transversals

Introduction

In our previous post, we talked about parallel lines. Well, this post will continue the parallel lines concept except this topic will focus on transversal lines.

Transversals are lines that cut through a pair of lines, mostly parallel.
