Honors Geometry 3.1: Relationships Between Lines

Parallel lines: Coplanar lines that never intersect (they will go in the same direction).

Ex: AB || DC

Perpendicular Lines: Intersect at a right angle.

Skew Lines: Noncoplanar lines that do not intersect (they will go in different directions)

Ex: AB and DH

Remember to visualize in 3D!

Line c intersects line b, but lines a and c are skew.

Transversal

• A line that intersects 2 or more coplanar lines at different points.

• Ex:

• Nonexample: Does not intersect the two lines at two different points!

Corresponding Angles

• 2 angles in corresponding positions

(same side of transversal, same respective side of lines)

Alternate Interior Angles

• 2 angles between the two lines on opposite sides of transversal

Same-Side Interior Angles(aka consecutive interior)

• 2 angles between the two lines on the same side of transversal

Alternate Exterior Angles

• 2 angles outside the two lines on opposite sides of transversal

Determining what type of angle pair1) Locate angles & determine which line is

transversal (this is always the line containing one side of both angles)

2) On which side of the transversal are the angles located?

1) Same side? Corresponding or SS Int (between the two lines)

2) Opposite side? 1) Alternate interior (angles are between the two lines)

or

2) Alternate Exterior (angles are outside the two lines)

Determine relationship between the two angles.
