Warm-UpWarm-UpWhat is the converse of the Corresponding

Angles Postulate?

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

Is this converse necessarily true?

3.3 Prove Lines are Parallel3.3 Prove Lines are ParallelObjectives:

1.To use angle pair relationships to prove that two lines are parallel

Copying an AngleCopying an AngleDraw angle A on your paper. How could you

copy that angle to another part of your paper using only a

compass and a straightedge?

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle1. Draw angle A.

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle2. Draw a ray with endpoint A’.

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle3. Put point of compass on A and draw an

arc that intersects both sides of the angle. Label these points

B and C.

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle4. Put point of compass on A’ and use the

compass setting from Step 3 to draw a similar arc on the ray.

Label point B’ wherethe arc intersects the ray.

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle5. Put point of compass on B and pencil on

C. Make a small arc.

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle6. Put point of compass on B’ and use the

compass setting from Step 5 to draw an arc that intersects the

arc from Step 4. Label the new point C’.

Copying an AngleCopying an Angle7. Draw ray A’C’.

Constructing Parallel LinesConstructing Parallel LinesNow let’s apply

the construction for copying an angle to create parallel lines by making congruent corresponding angles.

Constructing Parallel LinesConstructing Parallel Lines1. Draw line l and

point P not on l.

Constructing Parallel LinesConstructing Parallel Lines2. Draw a

transversal through point P intersecting line l.

Constructing Parallel LinesConstructing Parallel Lines3. Copy the angle

formed by the transversal and line l at point P.

parallel? Explain why or why not.

Yes, alt. ext angles are congruent

Yes, corresponding angles are congruent
