Parallel Lines • Parallel Lines are lines that never intersect. Two lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. • Always the same distance apart and never touching. Indicates that lines are parallel
Pairs of Angles • When parallel lines get crossed by another line (which is called a transversal), you can see that many angles are the same. • These angles can be made into pairs of angles which have special names. • Corresponding • Alternate Interior • Alternate Exterior • Vertical
Corresponding Angles • For any pair of parallel lines that are both intersected by a third line form CORRESPONDING ANGLES. • Angle A and angle C are called corresponding angles. • Corresponding angles have the same degree measurement. • Angle B and angle D are also corresponding angles.
Alternate Interior Angles • For any pair of parallel lines that are both intersected by a third line form ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES. • Angle A and angle D are called alternate interior angles. • Alternate interior angles have the same degree measurement. • Angle B and angle C are also alternate interior angles.
Alternate Exterior Angles • For any pair of parallel lines that are both intersected by a third line forms ALTERNATE EXTERIOR ANGLES. • Angle A and angle D are called alternate exterior angles. • Alternate exterior angles have the same degree measurement. • Angle B and angle C are also alternate exterior angles.
Vertical Angles • For any two lines that meet, such as in the diagram below, angle AEB and angle DEC are called vertical angles. • Vertical angles have the same degree measurement. • Angle BEC and angle AED are also vertical angles.
Name these Angles • Corresponding Angles: • Alternate Interior Angles: • Alternate Exterior Angles: • Vertical Angles:
