RECALL A transversal is a line that intersects two coplanar lines at two distinct points. The diagram shows the eight angles formed by a transversal t and two lines l and m.
RECALL Pairs of the eight angles have special names as suggested by their positions. Angles 1 and 5 are examples of corresponding angles. Angles 1 and 8 are examples of alternate exterior angles. Angles 3 and 6 are examples of alternate interior angles. Angles 3 and 5 are examples of same-side interior angles.
3-1 Properties of Parallel Lines Goal 1: To identify angles formed by two lines and a transversal Goal 2: To prove and use properties of parallel lines

We’re now going to explore the relationships among these special angle pairs when the two lines being intersected by a transversal happen to be parallel to one another. Activity Open GSP 4.06 from the start menu. Follow along as we complete the Properties of Parallel Lines GSP activity steps 1-4 as a class. With a partner read and complete, up to, but not including step 7. Answer all questions on the sheet.
Theorems Complete the following statements based upon your observations from the lesson: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding angles are _____________________. alternate interior angles are _____________________. same-side interior angles are _____________________. alternate exterior angles are _____________________.
