Properties of Parallel Lines
Transversal: line that intersects two coplanar lines at two distinct points Transversal
Properties of Parallel Lines The pairs of angles formed have special names… Transversal l m t
Alternate Interior Angles <1 and <2 <3 and < l m t
Same-side Interior Angles <1 and <4 <2 and < l m t
Corresponding Angles <1 and <7 <2 and <6 <3 and <8 <4 and < l m t
Properties of Parallel Lines Postulate 3-1Corresponding Angles Postulate If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent t l m line l || line m 1 2 m<1 =m <2
Properties of Parallel Lines Theorem 3-1Alternate Interior Angles Theorem If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are congruent. t l m line l || line m 1 2 m<2 = m<3 3
Properties of Parallel Lines Theorem 3-2Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then same-side interior angles are supplementary. t l m line l || line m 1 2 m<1 + m<2 = 180 3
