TRANSVERSAL LINE


In geometry, a 'transversal line' is a line that passes through two or more other coplanar lines at different points, especially when the other coplanar lines are also parallel.
If ''a'' is parallel to ''b'', and a transversal ''t'' intersects ''a'' forming an angle with measure ''X'', then if all three lines are coplanar, ''t'' must also form an angle with measure ''X'' with ''b''.
