3.2 Proving Lines Parallel
2
There are 4 ways to prove lines parallel
There are 4 ways to prove lines parallel. They are converses of the postulate and theorems from 3.3
3
Postulate 3-2:Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate
*If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. j 6 k If j and k are cut by t and then 7 t
4
Theorem 3-3:Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
*If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. j If j and k are cut by t and then k 3 1 t
5
Theorem 3-4: Converse of the Same-Side (Consecutive) Interior Angles
*If two lines are cut by a transversal so that same-side (consecutive) interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. j If j and k are cut by t and are supplementary, then 3 k 1 t
6
*If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. j If j and k are cut by t and are congruent, then 4 k 5 t
7
Ex 1. Find the value of x that makes j//k. Why?
*If two lines are cut by a transversal so that consecutive interior angles are supp., then the lines are parallel.
8
*If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.
k j 2x+10 o b) o 120 o 120 *If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corr. angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. *If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.
9
k j 5x+10 o c) o 60 *If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

Ex 2. Is it possible to prove that lines a and b are parallel
Ex 2. Is it possible to prove that lines a and b are parallel? If so, state the postulate or theorem that you would use. a) t o 70 o 70 b a Yes. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
11
t b) a b Yes. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
12
c) t a b No.
13
Theorem 3-5 If 2 lines are parallel to the same line, then they are parallel to each other. p q r If p//q and q //r, then p // r.
14
Theorem 3-6 In a plane, if 2 lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other. n m p If and , then m // n.
15
Ex 1. State the postulate or theorem that allows you to conclude that a//b.
Given: a//c; and b//c b c If 2 lines are parallel to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.
16
b) Given: c b In a plane, if 2 lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other. a
17
b c) Given: a 2 1 If 2 lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
18
Ex 2. Determine which lines, if any, must be //. Explain.
l // m n a) p o If two angles form a linear pair, then the angles are supplementary. 113 o 66 o 67 l 1 o 67 m If two lines are cut by a trans. so that corr. angles are congruent, then the lines are //.
