High students in this video, let's discuss what we mean with Transversal, this is a very important
topic and you will find a lot of questions using this concepts that we will be discussing.
All right.
Let's start quickly revising what we mean with intersecting lines over here.
We have nine a.m. and nine a.m. and they are intersecting.
Right.
So they have a common point.
Let the common point B, point B, and this is the point of intersection, right?
We call P as the point of intersection.
All right.
Now let's move on.
Let's try to understand what we mean with Transversal.
Now, a transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines.
At distinct points.
So these are the two criteria's for line to be a transversal.
Let's try to understand it with an example.
Over here, you can see that.
Nine inch is intersecting L and M at distinct points, so this is one point and this is the other point,
therefore in is a transversal because it's satisfying these two criteria.
Right.
But this type of a nine is what we call it, transversal.
What about nine are over here?
Nine are is intersecting P and Q, but it is not that distinct points.
So it's satisfying these criteria, but it is not satisfying these criteria that the points have to
be distinct.
Therefore R is not a transversal.
So we have seen a case where a nine is a transversal and we have seen a case where a nine is not a transversal.
