Lesson 3-5 Proving Lines Parallel
• Postulate 3.4- If two lines are cut by a transversal so that the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
Example:
• Postulate 3.5- Parallel PostulateIf a given line and a point not on the line, then
there exists exactly one line through the point that is parallel to the given line.
Proving Lines Parallel
Theorems Examples3.5 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
3.6 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.
3.7 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
3.8 In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel
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.
Answer:
Determine which lines, if any, are parallel.
Answer:
ALGEBRA Find x and mZYN so that
Explore From the figure, you know that
and You also know that are alternate exterior
angles.
Alternate exterior angles
Subtract 7x from each side.
Substitution
Add 25 to each side.
Divide each side by 4.
Solve
Plan For line PQ to be parallel to MN, the alternate exterior angles must be congruent.
Substitute the given angle measures into this equation and solve for x. Once you know the value of x, use substitution to find
Answer:
Original equation
Simplify.
Examine Verify the angle measure by using the value of x to find Since
