Usually, in geometry, transversal line is the line that intersects two planar lines at two different intersection points. You typically will see the transversal line cut across parallel lines, so you can make associations with corresponding angles, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and vertical angles.
But basically, it is a line that slashes through two lines on the same plane!

What is a transversal angle?
A Transversal angle is a line that intersects a system of lines.
How do you prove that 2 lines are parallel?
To actually prove this, you need a line that cuts across the two parallel lines. This is called a transversal. That creates 8 angles (this would be a lot easier to explain with a diagram). If the lines are parallel, then one of these statements will be true: (i) corresponding angles will be equal (ii) alternate interior angles will be equal (iii) alternate exterior angles will be equal (iv)the interior angles on the same side of the transversal will be supplementary, i.e. add up to 180° Of course, this only applies in Euclidean Geometry. There are branches of Geometry, called Non-Euclidean Geometry which is based around different postulates but that's another story and it is exciting.
What are the symbol for transversal?
If I am correct it is..... ≠
If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent?
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is the transversal postulate. So the answer is the lines would be parallel. This means that the statement is true.
What is transversal-?

How is trans and transversal the same?
cause they aint . so go murder your geometry teacher -_-
Is two lines that are transversal always never or sometimes coplanar?
They are always coplanar in Euclidean geometry.
What intersects at least 2 other lines in geometry?
How about the diagonals of a polygon or a transversal line cutting through parallel lines.
What is a transversal postulate?
Geometry begins with assumptions about certain things that are difficult, if not impossible to prove, and flows on things that can be proven. The assumptions that geometries logic is based on is called postulates. Sometimes. A transversal is a line the crosses at least two other lines.
What are transversal contracts?

What is the circumference of a transversal?
A transversal is a straight line and so it has no circumference.

What is a line that intersects two parallel lines?
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
