Why Are Alternate Interior Angles Equal on Parallel Lines?
3:13
Why Are Alternate Interior Angles Equal on Parallel Lines?
You'll learn: Alternate interior angles are equal because each equals the same corresponding angle.
Why Do Same-Side Interior Angles Add to 180°?
3:21
Why Do Same-Side Interior Angles Add to 180°?
You'll learn: One same-side interior angle equals the angle forming a linear pair with the other, so the two add to 180°.
