This post discusses the converse of the corresponding angles postulate and alternate interior angles theorem to prove the parallelism of lines when certain angle conditions are met.
E N D
Section 3-4 Proving Lines are Parallel
Converse of Corresponding Angles postulate • If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
j 1 k 2 j║k therefore
Converse of Alternate interior Angles theorem • If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
j 3 k 4 If , then j║k.
Converse of consecutive interior Angles theorem • If two lines are cut by a transversal so that consecutive interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
j 5 k 6 If , then j║k.
Converse of Alternate exterior Angles theorem • If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
j 7 k 8 If , then j║k.
