Alternate Interior Angles



Real Example
The pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the two lines are called Alternate Interior Angles.
Example

Transversal

a line intersecting two or more other lines

Same-Side Exterior Angles

Exterior Angles are created where a transversal crosses two (usually parallel) lines. Each pair of these angles are outside the parallel lines, and on the same side of the transversal.
