A transversal produces 8 angles, as shown in the graph at the above left: 4 with each of the two lines, namely α, β, γ and δ and then α 1, β 1, γ 1 and δ 1; and; 4 of which are interior (between the two lines), namely α, β, γ 1 and δ 1 and 4 of which are exterior, namely α 1, β 1, γ and δ.
The corresponding angles as well as the corresponding sides are defined as appearing in the same sequence, so for example if in a polygon with the side sequence abcde and another with the corresponding side sequence vwxyz we have vertex angle a appearing between sides a and b then its corresponding vertex angle v must appear between sides v and w.
The definition above generalizes from a directed graph to a directed hypergraph by defining the head or tail of each edge as a set of vertices (or ) rather than as a single vertex. A graph is then the special case where each of these sets contains only one element.
Transversal plane theorem for planes: Planes intersected by a transversal plane are parallel if and only if their alternate interior dihedral angles are congruent. Transversal line containment theorem: If a transversal line is contained in any plane other than the plane containing all the lines, then the plane is a transversal plane.
An angle equal to 0° or not turned is called a zero angle. [10] An angle smaller than a right angle (less than 90°) is called an acute angle [11] ("acute" meaning "sharp"). An angle equal to 1 / 4 turn (90° or π / 2 radians) is called a right angle. Two lines that form a right angle are said to be normal, orthogonal, or ...
Transverse – intersecting at any angle, i.e. not parallel. Orthogonal (or perpendicular) – at a right angle (at the point of intersection). Elevation – along a curve from a point on the horizon to the zenith, directly overhead. Depression – along a curve from a point on the horizon to the nadir, directly below.
The notion of transversality of a pair of submanifolds is easily extended to transversality of a submanifold and a map to the ambient manifold, or to a pair of maps to the ambient manifold, by asking whether the pushforwards of the tangent spaces along the preimage of points of intersection of the images generate the entire tangent space of the ambient manifold.

The interior angle concept can be extended in a consistent way to crossed polygons such as star polygons by using the concept of directed angles.In general, the interior angle sum in degrees of any closed polygon, including crossed (self-intersecting) ones, is then given by 180(n–2k)°, where n is the number of vertices, and the strictly positive integer k is the number of total (360 ...
