CLASS NOTES 10/11/21:
Assume that things that look
parallel are parallel. If you don't
see an intersection point on the
diagram, assume the lines do
not intersect at all.
Parallel means no intersection.
CONGRUENT - all traits of the construct are equal. Simple constructs like segments and angles are
congruent if their measures/lengths are equal.
Skewed lines exist in different planes. They may have a common plane containing one point each, but
otherwise they never intersect.
CORRESPONDING
(same side of transversal)
ALTERNATE INTERIOR
(opp side of transv)
CONSECUTIVE INTERIOR
(int region, same side of transv)
ALTERNATE EXTERIOR
In this case, the angles are supplementary, so In this case, the angles are supplementary, so
the equation will involve addition to 180 degrees. the equation will involve addition to 180 degrees.
First, what kind of relationship
No, because the angles would have Yes, there is enough
do these two angles have? None
to all add up to 180, but they do not. information, and they are
of the four we defined.
They add up to 188. congruent angles that are also
If angle 1 and angle 2 were supplementary,
alternate exterior angles, so
then the lines p and q would be parallel.
lines p and q are parallel.
This is not determinable from the picture,
since we have no measures.
GIVEN
corresponding angles
GIVEN
substitution prop of congruence
if two corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
STATEMENT REASON
assumed from diagram
two angles supplementary to the same angle are congruent
If two lines are cut by transversal st two corr angles are congr,
the lines are parallel.
