Corresponding Angles

Do you know what are Corresponding Angles

In geometry, an angle (in full, plane angle) is the figure formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. The magnitude of the angle is the "amount of rotation" that separates the two rays, and can be measured by considering the length of circular arc swept out when one ray is rotated about the vertex to coincide with the other (see "Measuring angles", below). Where there is no possibility of confusion, the term "angle" is used interchangeably for both the geometric configuration itself and for its angular magnitude. Now let us see about the corresponding angles

When two lines are crossed by another one line (which is called the Transversal), the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles.
The corresponding angles are not necessarily congruent, but if they are the coplanar lines are also parallel. In that, the corresponding angles are congruent, those angles can be used to determine the degrees of the other angles of the parallel lines.
