How to Prove Lines are Parallel

Mathematics is the gate and key to the sciences.

- Roger Bacon

Unit 3, Lesson 4

Postulate 11

If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent,then the lines are parallel.

Comparing postulate 10 to postulate 11, what do you notice?

Postulate 10If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.

Postulate 11If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent,then the lines are parallel.

We can rewrite postulates 10 and 11 into a single statement....

What else could show lines must be parallel?

Theorem 3-5 If two lines are cut by a transversal and alternate interior angles are congruent,then the lines are parallel.

Notice that this is the converse of Theorem 3-2.We can rewrite them as the Alternate Interior Angle Theorem

Two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if and only if alternate interior angles are congruent.

Theorem 3-6 If two lines are cut by a transversal and same-side interior angles aresupplementary, then the lines are parallel.

You can add these to your theorem list book.

Can we also write the Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem and Same-Side Exterior Angle Theorem as biconditionals?

Theorem 3-7In a plane two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel.

**Remember Skew lines**

Theorem 3-10Two lines parallel to a third line are parallel to each other.

What property does this seem reminiscent of?

We can call this theorem - ________________ of Parallel Lines.

Theorem 3-8

Through a point outside a line there is exactly one line parallel to the given line.

****Not really a Theorem. This should be a postulate*****

Theorem 3-9

Through a point outside a line, there is exactlyone line perpendicular to the given line.

Example 1: State which segments (if any) are parallel? State the postulate or theorem.

What are all the ways to show two lines are parallel?
