OK, i really need help describing this since i ran out of words to say:
Explain why corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and same-side interior angles (or consecutive angles) are appropriate terms, describing their locations of the pairs of angles.
I know what they are, I just don't know how to describe them. So, if you can help please answer this. Thank You!

Two || lines, L1 and L2 are both crossed by a transversal t.
This results in 8 different angles.
Four of the angles lie between L1 and L2 and are thus called interior angles. The other 4 angles lie outside L1 and L2 (two above L1 and two below L2) and hence ar called exterior angles. Alternate interior angles are angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and one has L1 as one of its sides and the other has L2 as on of its sides. So there are two pairs of alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are equal.
Similarly, there are two pairs of alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior angles are equal
Interior angles that lie on the same side of the transversal are consecutive. angles and they are supplementary. There are two such pairs.
