2. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(geometry)

   Euclid's Proposition 28 extends this result in two ways. First, if a transversal intersects two lines so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. Second, if a transversal intersects two lines so that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

3. Internal and external angles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angles

   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 ...

4. Transversal plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_plane

   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.

5. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

   In geometry, an inscribed angle is the angle formed in the interior of a circle when two chords intersect on the circle. It can also be defined as the angle subtended at a point on the circle by two given points on the circle. Equivalently, an inscribed angle is defined by two chords of the circle sharing an endpoint.

6. Angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

   A green angle formed by two red rays on the Cartesian coordinate system. In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. [1] Angles formed by two rays are also known as plane angles as they lie in the plane that contains the rays

7. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)

   The corresponding angles formed by a transversal property, used by W. D. Cooley in his 1860 text, The Elements of Geometry, simplified and explained requires a proof of the fact that if one transversal meets a pair of lines in congruent corresponding angles then all transversals must do so. Again, a new axiom is needed to justify this statement.
