Objectives • Students will be able to • Determine whether two lines are parallel • Write flow proofs • Define and apply the converse of the theorems from the previous section
Essential Understanding • You can use certain angle pairs to determine if two lines are parallel
What is the corresponding angles theorem? • If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent • What is the converse of the corresponding angles theorem? • If two lines and a transversal form congruent corresponding angles, then the lines are parallel
Identifying Parallel Lines • Which lines are parallel if <6 ≅ <7? • m || l • Which lines are parallel if <4 ≅ <6 • a || b
Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem • If two lines and a transversal form alternate interior angles that are congruent, then the two lines are parallel
Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem • If two lines and a transversal form same side interior angles that are supplementary, then the two lines are parallel.
Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem • If two lines and a transversal form alternate exterior angles that are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.
Summary • If corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel • If alternate interior lines are congruent, then the lines are parallel • If alternate exterior lines are congruent, then the lines are parallel • If same side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel
Things to Keep in Mind… • In order to use the theorems relating to parallel lines, you must first prove the lines are parallel if it is not given/stated in the problem. • Even if lines appear to be parallel, you cannot assume they are parallel • Always assume diagrams are NOT drawn to scale, unless otherwise stated
Flow Proof • Third way to write a proof • In a flow proof, arrows show the flow, or the logical connections, between statements. • Reasons are written below the statements
Proof of the Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem • Given: <4 ≅ <6 • Prove: l || m <4 ≅ <6 Given <2 ≅ <6 L || m Trans. Prop of ≅ <2 ≅ <4 Converse of Corresponding Angles Thm. Vert. <s are ≅ *You cannot use the Corresponding Angles Thm to say <2 ≅ <6 because we do not know if the lines are parallel
Write a flow proof • Given: m<5 = 40, m<2 = 140 • Prove: a || b • Start with what you know • The given statement • What you can concludefrom your picture. • What you need to know • Which theorem you can use to show a||b
Write a flow proof • Given: m<5 = 40, m<2 = 140 • Prove: a || b <5 and <2 are Supp. <s <5 = 40 Given Def. of Supp. <s a || b <2 = 140 Converse of Same Side Int. <sThm Given <5 and <2 are Same side Interior Angles Def. of Same Side Interior <s
Using Algebra • What is the value of x for which a || b? • Work backwards. What must be true of the given angles for a and b to be parallel? • How are the angles related? • Same side interior • Therefore, they must add to be 180
Using Algebra • What is the value of x for which a || b? • Work backwards. What must be true of the given angles for a and b to be parallel? • How are the angles related? • Corresponding Angles • Therefore, the angles are congruent
