corresponding angles

Transversal's matching positions

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that occupy the same relative position when a line crosses two other lines.

In geometry, when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal—a fundamental principle for proving lines parallel and solving geometric problems.

The corresponding angles are both 45 degrees, so the lines must be parallel.
