If two lines are cut by a transversal such that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
GOAL 1. Prove that two lines are parallel. re parallel. You can use the following postulate and theorems to p. GOAL 2 Use properties of lines are parallel. parallel lines to solve real-life problems, such as proving that prehistoric mounds are parallel in Ex. 19. Why you should learn it. n Exa.
1. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are (congruent, supplementary, complementary), then the lines are parallel. 2. If two lines are cut by a transversal so that same-side interior angles are (congruent, supplementary, complementary), then the lines are parallel. 3. If two lines are cut by a transversal so ...
Essential Question. For which of the theorems involving parallel lines and transversals is the converse true? Exploring Converses. Work with a partner. Write the converse of each conditional statement. Draw a diagram to represent the converse. Determine whether the converse is true. Justify your conclusion.
Introduction to proofs: Identifying geometry theorems and postulates ANSWERS C congruent ? Explain using geometry concepts and theorems: 1) Why is the triangle isosceles? PR and PQ are radii of the circle. Therefore, they have the same length. A triangle with 2 sides of the same length is isosceles. 2) Why is an altitude? AB = AB (reflexive ...
Geometry Unit 3 - Reasoning & Proofs w/Congruent Triangles Page 167 For # 1-3, given a ‖ b, state the postulate or theorem that justifies each conclusion. 1.
Proving Lines Parallel 1. The Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate states that if two coplanar lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of corresponding angles is congruent, then the two lines are parallel. Use the figure for Exercises 2 and 3. Given the information in each exercise, state the reason why lines b and c are parallel.
