The following are true of the transversal:

• The lines cut/intersected by a transversal are coplanar with the transversal.


• The lines cut/intersected by a transversal do not need to be parallel.


• When a transversal cuts/intersects parallel lines, the corresponding angles around each intersection are equal in measure.

Transversal Activity

There is no transversal in the figure, since a transversal must cut/intersect through two or more coplanar lines or segments.
