Proving Lines are Parallel Section 3-4 Proving Lines are Parallel
Converse of Corresponding Angles postulate If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
1 2 j k j║k therefore
Converse of Alternate interior Angles theorem If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
j k 3 4 If , then j║k.
Converse of consecutive interior Angles theorem If two lines are cut by a transversal so that consecutive interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
j k 5 6 If , then j║k.
Converse of Alternate exterior Angles theorem If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
j k 7 8 If , then j║k.
