m//n // o m n o
Are these two lines parallel? No - they intersect (cross). b a
Are these two lines parallel? No - they will intersect if you extend the lines. c d
Are these two lines parallel? It sure looks like they are! e f
a b n Line n is a transversal. It intersects lines a & b.
a c b r Is line r a transversal? Yes - it intersects 3 lines.
When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, these special relationships are formed among the angles!
corresponding angles – CAtwo angles on the same side of transversal and on the same side of the parallel lines
1 2 4 3 5 6 8 7 Corresponding Angle Conjecture:If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then C.A.’s arecongruent
alternate interior angles – AIA angles that are on opposite sides of transversal and between the parallel lines
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Alternate Interior Angle Conjecture:If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then A.I.A.’s are congruent.
alternate exterior angles – AEAangles that are on opposite sides of transversal and not between the parallel lines
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Alternate Exterior Angle Conjecture:If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then A.E.A.’s are congruent.

You just found 7 angle measures when you were given only one angle measure!
If AIA are congruent then are lines m and n parallel?? m 59 59 n
