Objective Use the angles formed by a transversal to prove two lines are parallel.

Example 1A: Using the Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate Use the Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate and the given information to show that ℓ || m. 4  8 4  8 4 and 8 are corresponding angles. ℓ || m Conv. of Corr. s Post.

Example 1B: Using the Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate Use the Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate and the given information to show that ℓ || m. m3 = (4x – 80)°, m7 = (3x – 50)°, x = 30 m3 = 4(30) – 80 = 40 Substitute 30 for x. m8 = 3(30) – 50 = 40 Substitute 30 for x. m3 = m8 Trans. Prop. of Equality 3  8 Def. of  s. ℓ || m Conv. of Corr. s Post.

Example 2A: Determining Whether Lines are Parallel Use the given information and the theorems you have learned to show that r || s. 4  8 4  8 4 and 8 are alternate exterior angles. r || s Conv. Of Alt. Int. s Thm.

Example 2B Continued Use the given information and the theorems you have learned to show that r || s. m2 = (10x + 8)°, m3 = (25x – 3)°, x = 5 m2 + m3 = 58° + 122° = 180° 2 and 3 are same-side interior angles. r || s Conv. of Same-Side Int. s Thm.

Example 3: Proving Lines Parallel Given: p || r , 1  3 Prove: ℓ || m

Example 3 Continued Statements Reasons 1. p || r 1. Given 2. 3  2 2. Alt. Ext. s Thm. 3. 1  3 3. Given 4. 1  2 4. Trans. Prop. of  5. ℓ ||m 5. Conv. of Corr. s Post.

Example 4: Carpentry Application A carpenter is creating a woodwork pattern and wants two long pieces to be parallel. m1= (8x + 20)° and m2 = (2x + 10)°. If x = 15, show that pieces A and B are parallel.

Substitute 15 for x in each expression. Example 4 Continued A line through the center of the horizontal piece forms a transversal to pieces A and B. 1 and 2 are same-side interior angles. If 1 and 2 are supplementary, then pieces A and B are parallel. Substitute 15 for x in each expression.

Example 4 Continued m1 = 8x + 20 = 8(15) + 20 = 140 Substitute 15 for x. m2 = 2x + 10 = 2(15) + 10 = 40 Substitute 15 for x. m1+m2 = 140 + 40 1 and 2 are supplementary. = 180 The same-side interior angles are supplementary, so pieces A and B are parallel by the Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem.
