they are not at the same vertex" By this definition, angles ∠1 and ∠2 in the above figure form a pair of corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are NOT always congruent. Corresponding angles formed by the transversal that intersects two "parallel lines" are angles that are congruent.
Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent; points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.
angles are congruent. Examples In the diagram at the left, ∠3 ≅6 and 4 5. Prove this Theorem Exercise 17, page 131 3.3 Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. Examples In the diagram at the left, ∠1 ≅8 and 2 7. Proof Example 4, page 130
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent or have the same measure. Take for example in our diagram above, since [latex]\angle 1[/latex] and [latex]\angle 5[/latex] are corresponding angles, they are congruent.
However, they will not be equal in measure anymore. Two non-parallel lines form pairs of non-congruent corresponding angles. How to Locate and Identify Corresponding Angles. Let’s understand how to identify which angles are corresponding angles when two parallel lines (or non-parallel lines) are cut by a transversal.

Example 1: recognize congruent triangles. Decide whether this pair of triangles are congruent. If they are congruent, state why: Check the corresponding angles and corresponding sides. Both triangles have sides 5~{cm} and 7~{cm}. They both have an angle of 95^{\circ}. 2 Decide if the polygons are congruent or not.
