Transversal line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In geometry, a transversal line is a line that passes through two or more other coplanar lines at different points.

In Euclidean geometry if lines a and b are parallel, and line t intersects lines a and b, then corresponding angles formed by line t and the parallel lines are congruent.

A Line which intersects 2or more coplanar lines at differentpoints is called a Transversal
