Parallel Lines

□Task: Today you will identify parallel lines in real life images. You will also identify a transversal and a set of alternate interior angles.

□To prove the lines are parallel, you will use Geometer’s Sketch pad to measure the alternate interior angles.

Review

For today’s lesson, you must find a pair of alternate interior angles to prove that the lines are parallel.

In this diagram, name a set of alternate interior angles.

Can you find a set of parallel lines in this picture?

<1 <2

Drag these two angles onto the picture to show

alternate angles.

□ These lines appear to be parallel.

Directions

□There are 10 slides for you to choose from. You must complete 6 slides out of the 10. Use the line tools to draw parallel lines and a transversal on the images. Then, label one pair of special angles. Each slide will give you the type of angles to identify.

Save your work!□Now that you are done, save your work in

your I drive. Save as Lastname_parallel□The next step is to measure the angles to

check to see if they are congruent.□Paste 1 of your images in Geometer’s

Sketch pad and measure the two angles for congruency. You should save your sketchpad image to your I drive as Lastname_parallel_sketch.

□Make sure a copy is placed in my drop folder when complete.
