Question
A transversal intersects two or more than two lines at ______ points.
Advertisements
Solution
A transversal intersects two or more than two lines at distinct points.
Explanation:
In geometry, a transversal is a line that crosses or intersects two or more other lines at different (distinct) points. These points of intersection are not the same and occur at different locations on each line.
Example:
If a transversal cuts across two parallel lines, it forms angles at two distinct points, one on each line.
