Answer:

We can use this knowledge in planning of cities

Explanation:

The transversal is a line that intersects two or more parallel lines.Angles with similar characteristics are formed when this occurs.

In city planning, streets can be designed to resemble parallel lines with roads that do not meet.However, other roads can be constructed to allow people on the other street to cross to neighboring streets.Such roads allowing this access can be viewed as transversal.

The areas where street roads meet the transversal roads have similar angle characteristics thus could be used for CCTV cameras for surveillance and traffic lights positioning.
