Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem |
If two lines cut by a transversal are parallel, then alternate exterior angles are congruent |
|
Same side Interior Angles Theorem |
If two lines cut by a transveral are parallel, then same-side interior angles are supplementary |
|
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem |
If two lines cut a transversal are parallel then alternate interior angles are congruent |
|
Prove the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem |
l and m are parallel lines given, m<l is congruent to the m<3 corresponding angles postulate, m<3 us congruent with m<2 vertical angles postulate, m<1 is congruent with m<2 Transitive Property |
|
Transversal |
a line or ray that intersects to or more coplanar lines, rays, or segments, each at a different point. |
|
Corresponding Angles |
angles that are located in the same position in relation to a transversal |
|
Corresponding Angles Postulate |
If two lines cut by a transversal are parallel, then the corresponding angles are congruent |
|
The Parallel Postulate |
Given a line and a point not on that line, there is one and only one line the contains the given point and is parallel to the given line |
|
Triangle Sum Theorem |
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees |
|
Theorem 1 |
if 2 points are perpendicular to the same line, then the two lines are parallel to each other. |
|
Theorem 2 |
If two lines are parallel to the same line, then the two lines are parallel to each other |
|
Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate |
if corresponding angles are congruent then the two lines cut by a transversal are parallel |
|
Converse of the Same-side Interior Angles Theorem |
If the same-side interior angles are supplementary then the two lines cut by transversal are parallel |
|
Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem |
If alternate interior angles are congruent then two lines cut by a transversal are parallel |
|
Converse of Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem |
If alternate exterior angles are congruent, then two lines cut by a transversal are parallel |
