Properties of Parallel Lines
Objectives:
Explore relationships of the angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.
When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, these special
relationships are formed among the angles!
corresponding angles – CA two angles on the same side
of transversal and on the same side of the parallel lines
Corresponding Angle Conjecture:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then C.A.’s are
congruent
alternate interior angles – AIA angles that are on opposite
sides of transversal and between the parallel lines
Alternate Interior Angle Conjecture:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then A.I.A.’s are
congruent.
alternate exterior angles – AEA
angles that are on opposite sides of transversal and not between the parallel lines
Alternate Exterior Angle Conjecture:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then A.E.A.’s are
congruent.
