Properties of Parallel Lines

Lines AB and FC are parallel. Line BC is a transversal of the two parallel lines AB and FC.

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and activated. (click here to install Java now)

Use points A, B, and C to change the angle values. When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, what angle relationships are formed? Make as many observations as you can.
