Warm-Up

1. Using the lines on a piece of paper as a guide, draw a pair of parallel lines. Now draw a transversal that intersects the parallel lines. Label the angles with numbers.

2. Place a patty paper over the set of angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, and ∠4 and copy the two intersecting lines onto the patty paper.

3. Slide the patty paper down and compare angles 1 through 4 with angles 5 through 8.

Use Parallel Lines and Transversals

Objectives:

1. To find angle pair measurements with parallel lines cut by a transversal

2. To prove theorems involving parallel lines cut by a transversal

Parallel Lines

Two lines are parallel lines if and only if they are coplanar and never intersect.

The red arrows indicate that the lines are parallel.

Two lines are parallel lines if and only if they are coplanar and never intersect.

Parallel Lines

Two lines are skew lines if and only if they are not coplanar and never intersect.

Skew Lines

Example 2

Think of each segment in the figure as part of a line. Which line or plane in the figure appear to fit the description?

1. Line(s) parallel to CD and containing point A.

2. Line(s) skew to CD and containing point A.

Example 2

3. Line(s) perpendicular to CD and containing point A.

4. Plane(s) parallel plane EFG and containing point A.

Transversal

A line is a transversal if and only if it intersects two or more coplanar lines.– When a transversal

cuts two coplanar lines, it creates 8 angles, pairs of which have special names

Transversal

• ∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles

• ∠3 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles

• ∠1 and ∠8 are alternate exterior angles

• ∠3 and ∠5 are consecutive interior angles

Example 3

Classify the pair of numbered angles.

Example 4

List all possible answers.1. ∠2 and ___ are corresponding ∠s2. ∠4 and ___ are consecutive interior ∠s3. ∠4 and ___ are alternate interior ∠s

Four Window Foldable

Corresponding Angles Postulate

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.

Four Window Foldable

Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
