Definitions Angles 3, 4, 5, and 6 lie between l and m. They are interior angles. Angles 1, 2, 7, and 8 lie outside of l and m. They are exterior angles. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Identifying Parallel Lines
Which lines are parallel if Justify your answer. Solution are not formed by line l, so we concentrate on line a and line b with transversal m. are alternate interior angles. If , then a || b by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Determining Whether Lines Are Parallel
The fence gate at the right is made up of pieces of wood arranged in various directions. Suppose Are lines r and s parallel? Explain. Solution Yes, r || s. are alternate exterior angles. If two lines and a transversal form congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel (Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem). Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
17
Using Algebra to Prove Lines Are Parallel
What is the value of x that makes a || b? Solution The two angles are same-side interior angles. By the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem, a || b if the angles are supplementary. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
18
Using Algebra to Prove Lines Are Parallel
What is the value of x that makes a || b? (2x + 9) = 180 2x = 180 2x = 60 x = 30 Thus, if x = 30, then a || b. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
