Use Properties of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Target Use Properties of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines You will… Use angles formed by parallel lines and transversals.
VOCABULARY Corresponding Angles Postulate 15 – If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. 1 Proof sequence: First, identify the angles as corresponding by the definition of corresponding angles; then state the angles are congruent by the Corresponding Angles Postulate 15.
VOCABULARY Alternate Interior Angles Theorem 3.1 – If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem 3.2 – If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem 3.3 – If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary. Proof sequence: First, identify the angle pair by type, then state the angles are congruent or supplementary by one of the theorems about parallel lines.
EXAMPLE 1 Identify congruent angles The measure of three of the numbered angles is 120°. Identify the angles. Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION By the Corresponding Angles Postulate, m 5 = 120°. Using the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, m 4 = 120°. Because 4 and 8 are corresponding angles, by the Corresponding Angles Postulate, you know that m 8 = 120°.
Use properties of parallel lines EXAMPLE 2 Use properties of parallel lines ALGEBRA Find the value of x. SOLUTION By the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem, m 4 = 115°. Lines a and b are parallel, so you can use the theorems about parallel lines. m 4 + (x+5)° = 180° Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem 115° + (x+5)° = 180° Substitute 115° for m 4. x + 120 = 180 Combine like terms. x = 60 Subtract 120 from each side.
GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2 Use the diagram. 1. If m 1 = 105°, find m 4, m 5, and m 8. Tell which postulate or theorem you use in each case. m 4 = 105° ANSWER Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem. m 5 = 105° Corresponding Angles Postulate. m 8 = 105° Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2 Use the diagram. 2. If m 3 = 68° and m 8 = (2x + 4)°, what is the value of x? Show your steps. m 7 + m 8 = 180 ANSWER m 3 = m 7 68 + 2x + 4 = 180 2x + 72 = 180 2x = 108 x = 54
EXAMPLE 3 Prove the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Prove that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. SOLUTION Draw a diagram. Label a pair of alternate interior angles as 1 and 2. You are looking for an angle that is related to both 1 and 2. Notice that one angle is a vertical angle with 2 and a corresponding angle with 1. Label it 3.
