3. Problem of the Day
The square root of 1,813,141,561 is a whole number. Is it odd or even? How do you know?
An odd number can only be the product of two odd numbers. Since 1,813,141,561 is an odd number, its square root is also an odd number.

4. Learn to identify parallel and perpendicular lines and the angles formed by a transversal.

5. Vocabulary
parallel lines
perpendicular lines
transversal

6. Parallel lines are two lines in a plane that never meet, like a set of perfectly straight, infinite train tracks.
Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect to form 90° angles.

7. The railroad ties are transversals to the tracks.
The tracks are parallel.
A transversal is a line that intersects any two or more other lines. Transversals to parallel lines have interesting properties.

8. Additional Example 1: Identifying Congruent Angles Formed by a Transversal
Measure the angles formed by the transversal and parallel lines. Which angles seem to be congruent?
1,  3,  5, and  7 all measure 150°.
 2,  4,  6, and  8 all measure 30°.

9. Additional Example 1 Continued
Angles marked in blue appear to be congruent to each other, and angles marked in red appear to be congruent to each other. 1

12. PROPERTIES OF TRANSVERSALS TO PARALLEL LINES
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal,
the acute angles that are formed are all congruent,
the obtuse angles are all congruent,
and any acute angle is supplementary to any obtuse angle.
If the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines, all of the angles formed are congruent 90° angles.

13. The symbol for parallel is ||. The symbol for perpendicular is .
