Section 3 – 1: Parallel Lines and TransversalsNotes

Parallel Lines: coplanar lines that do not ____________________

Symbol:

Ex:

Parallel Planes: ______________ that do not ___________________

Ex:

Skew Lines: lines that do not ___________________ and that are not ________________

Example #1: Refer to the figure on the right.

a.) Name all planes that are parallel to plane AEF.

b.) Name all segments that intersect AF .

c.) Name all segments that are parallel to DC .

d.) Name all segments that are skew to AD .

5

Transversal: a line that intersects Ex:

_________ or more lines in a plane

at different _______________

Example #2: Identify the pairs of lines to which each given line is a transversal.

a.) p b.) r

c.) q d.) t

Key Concept (Transversals and Angles):

Transversal p intersects lines q and r.

a.) Exterior Angles

b.) Interior Angles

c.) Consecutive Interior Angles

d.) Alternate Exterior Angles

e.) Alternate Interior Angles

f.) Corresponding Angles

CRITICAL THINKING

1.) Find the Error: Kenisha and Eric are naming alternate interior angles in the figure

at the right. One of the angles must be 4 . Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

2.) A good way to remember new mathematical terms is to relate them to words that

you use in everyday life. Many words start with the prefix trans-, which is a Latin root

meaning across. List four English words that start with trans-. How can the meaning of

this prefix help you remember the meaning of transversal?

Discovering Properties of Parallel Lines

Directions:

1. Using the lines on a piece of paper as a guide, draw a pair of parallel lines.2. Draw a transversal intersecting the parallel lines and number the angles formed from 1 to 8.3. Use a protractor to measure each of the numbered angles and fill in the chart below.

Using the table and your picture, make as many different observations as possible. (Make sure to includeall eight angles)

9

Using the table, your picture, and your observations, identify every pair of each of the following types ofangles and make a conjecture about their measures.

1. Vertical angles:Conjecture:

Section 3 – 3: Slopes of Lines

Notes

Slope – the ratio of a line’s __________________ ________ to its ___________________ _________

slope =

Example #1: Find the slope.

a.) b.)

c.) d.)

Example #2: For one manufacturer of camping equipment, between 1990 and 2000 annual salesincreased by $7.4 million per year. In 2000, the total sales were $85.9 million. If sales increase at thesame rate, what will be the total sales in 2010.

16

Example #3: Find the slope of l, m, and n. Compare the slopes of each.

Two nonvertical lines have the _________ slope if and only if they are ___________.

Two nonvertical lines are _________________ if and only if the product of their slopes is _________.

Example #4: Determine whether ⃖ ⃗ and ⃖ ⃗ are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

a. F(1, -3), G(-2,-1), H(5,0), J(6,3)

b. F(4,2), G(6, -3), H(-1, 5), J(-3, 10)

17

CRITICAL THINKING

1.) Find the Error: Curtis and Laura calculated the slope of a line containing A(15, 4)and B(-6, -13). Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

2.) The maximum recommended slope of a wheelchair ramp is 1/12. A business isinstalling a wheelchair ramp that rises 22 inches over a horizontal length of 228 inches.Is the ramp steeper then recommended? Be sure to show all of your work, and explainyour reasoning.

CRITICAL THINKING

1.) The price of a pair of “Jordan’s” can be represented by the linear equation

P = 3.52t + 65, where t = 0 corresponds to 1985. Explain the meaning of the slope and

y-intercept. Use this equation to determine how much a pair of “Jordan’s” will cost in

2020.

Section 3 – 5: Proving Lines ParallelNotes

IF TWO LINES IN A PLANE ARE CUT BY A TRANSVERSAL SO THAT:

Corresponding angles are __________________, then the lines are

__________________.

A pair of alternate exterior angles is __________________, then the two lines are

___________________.

A pair of alternate interior angles is ___________________, then the lines are

__________________.

A pair of consecutive interior angles is ________________________, then the lines

are ___________________.

Ask yourself, “What if they were parallel…”

Example #1: Determine which lines, if any, are parallel.

b.) 169

c.) 102

d.) 156

Example #4: Find y so that l m.

CRITICAL THINKING

1.) Describe two situations in your own life in which you encounter parallel lines.

How could you verify that the lines are parallel?

2.) When striping the practice football field, Coach Novak first painted the sidelines.

Next he marked off 10-yard increments on one sideline. He then constructed lines

perpendicular to the sidelines at each 10-yard mark. Why does this guarantee that the

10-yard lines will be parallel?
