1. 3.5 Proving Lines Parallel

2. Objectives Recognize angle conditions that occur with parallel lines
Prove that two lines are parallel based on given angle relationships

3. Postulate 3.4 Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate
If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
Abbreviation: If corr. s are , then lines are ║.

4. Postulate 3.5 Parallel Postulate
If given a line and a point not on the line, then there exists exactly one line through the point that is parallel to the given line.

5. Theorem 3.5 Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate exterior angles is congruent, then the two lines are parallel.
Abbreviation: If alt ext. s are , then lines are ║.

6. Theorem 3.6 Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of consecutive interior angles is supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
Abbreviation: If cons. int. s are supp., then lines are ║.

7. Proof of the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
Given: 4 and 5 are supplementary
Prove: g ║ h 6 g 5 4 h

8. Paragraph Proof of the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
You are given that 4 and 5 are supplementary. By the Supplement Theorem, 5 and 6 are also supplementary because they form a linear pair. If 2 s are supplementary to the same , then 4  6. Therefore, by the Converse of the Corresponding s Angles Postulate, g and h are parallel.

9. Theorem 3.7 Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel.
Abbreviation: If alt. int. s are , then lines are ║.

10. Abbreviation: If 2 lines are ┴ to the same line, then the lines are ║.
Theorem 3.8
In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel.
Abbreviation: If 2 lines are ┴ to the same line, then the lines are ║.

11. Example 1: Determine which lines, if any, are parallel.
consecutive interior angles are supplementary. So,
consecutive interior angles are not supplementary. So, c is not parallel to a or b.
