When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the alternate exterior angles are equal. This example uses GeoGebra to demonstrate the properties of alternate exterior angles. Key mathematical concepts include angle properties and geometric construction. Commands used include Point, Line, Rotate, Angle, Circle, Intersect, Segment, Vector, Ray, CircleArc, CircleSector, Translate. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometry.
