 Alternate Interior Angles
1. For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both
intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the diagram
below, angle A and angle D are called alternate interior
angles. Alternate interior angles have the same degree
measurement. Angle B and angle C are also alternate
interior angles.
 Alternate Exterior Angles
For any pair of parallel lines 1 and 2, that are both
intersected by a third line, such as line 3 in the diagram
below, angle A and angle D are called alternate exterior
angles. Alternate exterior angles have the same degree
measurement. Angle B and angle C are also alternate
exterior angles.
