Making Sense of Parallel Lines Transversal Lines and Angles

Geomettry hasn't ever been my strong suit when it comes to math. There are many times that the angles confuse me, but this week in our class things have begun to make more sense. There is still learning to come with the types of angles and what they are. I am still trying to memorize what angles will be correponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, supplementary and so on. It is something that I need more practice with so that it will make more sense to me, but I am planning on putting in the work to do so.

It was nice in class on Thursday because we were able to practice naming the types of angles that were a part of the parallel lines with a transversal line through them. Corresponding angles are two angles that lay on the same side of the transversal but on is on the inside of the parallel lines and one is on the outside of them. Also with corresponding angles the angles will have the same measure. Alternate interior angles are angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal, but both are inside the parallel lines, these angles will also have the same measure as each other. Alternate exterior angles lie on opposite sides of the transversal, but are outside of the parallel, these angles again will come out to have the same measure. Supplementary angles are two or more angles that will sum up to be 180 degrees.Vertical angles are two anlges whose sides form opposite rays. Same side interior angles lie on the same side of the transversal line between the two parallel lines, if you add these two angle measures together they will sum up to be 180 degrees.
