angles on opposite sides of the traversal and and inside the parallel likes.. are equal.

oh ok, and what about when you have to find the other angle measures? I know its supost to be a total of a certan number of degrees but I forgot the number XD

campbell_st · Answer

it the angles are on the same side of the transversal in inside the parallel lines they are called co interior and are supplementary
