Common misconception

Keywords

• Corresponding angles - Corresponding angles are a pair of angles at different vertices on the same side of a transversal in equivalent positions.

• Alternate angles - A pair of angles both between or both outside two line segments that are on opposite sides of the transversal that cuts them.

• Co-interior angles - Co-interior angles are on the same side of the transversal line and in between the two other lines.

• Interior angles - An interior angle is an angle formed inside a polygon by two of its edges.

• Exterior angles - An exterior angle is an angle on the outside of a polygon between an extension of an edge and its adjacent edge.
