Proving Properties of Parallel Lines Cut by A Transversal

This document defines and discusses key concepts related to parallel lines cut by a transversal, including: - A transversal is a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at two or more distinct points. - Alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and corresponding angles are pairs of angles related to a transversal. - The corresponding angles postulate and alternate interior angle theorem can be used to prove properties of and determine if lines are parallel based on their angles when cut by a transversal. - Lines can be determined to be parallel or perpendicular based on several angle criteria when cut by a transversal or intersecting one another.

Proving properties of

parallel lines cut by a


transversal
Transversal is
a line that
intersects two or
more coplanar
lines at two or In Figure 1 and 2, l1 and l2 were
more distinct intersected at two different points, thus,
points. this line is a transversal

In Figure 3, is not transversal since it


did not intersect to l1 and l2
Alternate interior
angles are two non-
adjacent interior
angles on opposite
sides of the
transversal. ∠3 and ∠6
∠4 and ∠5
Alternate exterior
angles are two non-
adjacent exterior
angles on opposite
sides of the
transversal.
∠1 and ∠8
∠2 and ∠7
Corresponding
angles are two non-
adjacent angles, one
interior, and one
exterior on the same
side of the ∠1 and ∠5
transversal. ∠3 and ∠7
∠2 and ∠6
∠4 and ∠8
Proving Properties of Parallel Lines
Corresponding Angles Postulate

◦ If 2 parallel lines are cut be a transversal, then a pair of


corresponding angles are congruent.

Alternate Interior Angle Theorem


◦ If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then any pair of
alternate interior angles are congruent.
Reasons used in proving transversal.
Transitive Property of Congruence

Substitution Property of Equality


If mA = mB and mA+ mC=180𝑜 then mB+ mC=180𝑜

Definition of Congruent Angles


If A ≅ B then mA = mB or If mA = mB then A ≅ B

m∠7 + m∠8 = 180o Linear Pair Theorem
∠1 ≅ ∠8 Transitive Property of Congruence
m∠1 = m∠8 Definition of Congruent Angles
m∠1 + m∠7 = 180o Substitution Property of Equality
Conditions to determine if the given lines are
parallel.
• If the two lines are cut by a transversal and
the alternate interior angles are congruent.
∠3 ≅ ∠6 ∠4 ≅ ∠5
• If the two lines are cut by a transversal and
the alternate exterior angles are congruent.
∠1 ≅ ∠8 ∠2 ≅ ∠7
• If the two lines are cut by a transversal and
the corresponding angles are congruent.
∠1 ≅ ∠5 ∠3 ≅ ∠7
∠2 ≅ ∠6 ∠4 ≅ ∠8
Conditions to determine if two given lines or
segments are parallel.
• If the two lines are cut by a transversal and
the interior angles on the same side are
supplementary.
m∠3 + m∠5 = 180o m∠4 + m∠6 = 180o

• If the two lines are cut by a transversal and


the exterior angles on the same side are
supplementary.
m∠1 + m∠7 = 180o m∠2 + m∠8 = 180o
If two angles are congruent therefore the
two segments are parallel.
