Theorem 3.3 Consecutive Interior s Theorem If 2 lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive int. s is supplementary. i.e. If l m, then 1 & 2 are supplementary or m 1 + m 2 = 180°. lmlm 1 2

EXAMPLE 1 Identify congruent angles SOLUTION By the Corresponding Angles Postulate, m 5 = 120°. Using the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, m 4 = 120°. Because 4 and 8 are corresponding angles, by the Corresponding Angles Postulate, you know that m 8 = 120°. The measure of three of the numbered angles is 120°. Identify the angles. Explain your reasoning.

EXAMPLE 2 Use properties of parallel lines ALGEBRA Find the value of x. SOLUTION By the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, m 4 = 115°. Lines a and b are parallel, so you can use the theorems about parallel lines. Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem m 4 + (x+5)° = 180° Substitute 115° for m 4. 115° + (x+5)° = 180° Combine like terms. x + 120 = 180 Subtract 120 from each side. x = 60

EXAMPLE 3 Prove the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Prove that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. SOLUTION Draw a diagram. Label a pair of alternate interior angles as 1 and 2. You are looking for an angle that is related to both 1 and 2. Notice that one angle is a vertical angle with 2 and a corresponding angle with 1. Label it 3. GIVEN : p q PROVE : 1 2

EXAMPLE 4 Solve a real-world problem Science When sunlight enters a drop of rain, different colors of light leave the drop at different angles. This process is what makes a rainbow. For violet light, m 2 = 40°. What is m 1 ? How do you know?
15
EXAMPLE 4 Solve a real-world problem SOLUTION Because the sun’s rays are parallel, 1 and 2 are alternate interior angles. By the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, 1 2. By the definition of congruent angles, m 1 = m 2 = 40°.
16
GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4 3. In the proof in Example 3, if you use the third statement before the second statement, could you still prove the theorem? Explain. Yes; 3 and 2 congruence is not dependent on the congruence of 1 and 3. SAMPLE ANSWER

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4 Suppose the diagram in Example 4 shows yellow light leaving a drop of rain. Yellow light leaves the drop at an angle of 41°. What is m 1 in this case? How do you know? 4. WHAT IF? 41°; 1 and 2 are alternate interior angles. By the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, 1 2. By the definition of congruent angles, m 1 = m 2 = 41°. ANSWER
