3.2 Parallel Lines and Transversals ….. The Rules BABY!!!!!!
Corresponding Angles Postulate If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. 1 4 3 2 1 2 & 3 4
Alternate Interior Angles If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. 1 2 4 3 1 2 & 3 4
Consecutive Interior Angles If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary. 5 6 7 8 m5 + m6 = 180° & m7 + m8 = 180°
Alternate Exterior Angles If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. 9 10 11 12 9 10 & 11 12
Perpendicular Transversal If a transversal is to one of the two parallel lines, then it is to the other. j h k j k
