5.2 Proving That Lines Are Parallel
Objective: After studying this section, you will be able to apply the exterior angle inequality theorem and use various methods to prove lines are parallel.

An exterior angle of a triangle is formed whenever a side of the triangle is extended to form an angle supplementary to the adjacent interior angle. D Exterior angle Adjacent Interior angle F E Remote Interior angle Theorem: The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either remote interior angle.

Given: exterior angle BCD Prove:
M A C D Locate the midpoint, M, of BC. Draw AP so that AM=MP Draw CP Triangles AMB and PMC are congruent because of SAS This makes angle B and angle MCP congruent (CPCTC) This also proves that angle BCD is greater than angle B Extend BC, creating a vertical angle to angle BCD The following results:

(short form: Alt. int. lines.)
Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal such that two alternate interior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. (short form: Alt. int lines.) Given: a Prove: a ll b 3 b 6 Use an indirect proof to prove that a ll b.
5
(short form: Alt. ext. lines.)
Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal such that two alternate exterior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. (short form: Alt. ext lines.) Given: a Prove: a ll b 1 b 8 This can be proved by use of Alt. int lines.
6
(short form: corr. lines.)
Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal such that two corresponding angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. (short form: corr lines.) Given: a 2 Prove: a ll b b 6 This can be proved by use of Alt. int lines.
7
This can be proved by use of Alt. int. lines.
Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal such that two interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, the lines are parallel. Given: a Prove: a ll b 4 b 6 This can be proved by use of Alt. int lines.
8
This can be proved by use of Alt. int. lines.
Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal such that two exterior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, the lines are parallel. Given: a 2 Prove: a ll b b 8 This can be proved by use of Alt. int lines.
9
