Examples

  • 120 + 60 = 180 degrees for a pair of co-interior angles on parallel lines.
  • Co-interior angles sit between the lines, on the same side of the transversal.

Key rule

Co-interior angles are supplementary when the lines are parallel.

Memory hook

Same side, inside — they add to 180 degrees.
