Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Parallel lines seem so right for each other. It's too bad they'll never, ever meet. Learners use tracing paper to discover relationships among angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal. They apply this information to find...
