Section 7-1
Parallel Lines and Related Angles

Transversal- a line that intersects two coplanar
lines at two distinct points

Alternate Interior Angles- opposite sides of the transversal

Same Side Interior Angles

Corresponding Angles

Vertical Angles

Supplementary Angles

Postulate 7-1 Corresponding Angles:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, than the correspondings are congruent

Theorem 7-1 Alternate Interior:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, than the alternate interior are congruent

Theorem 7-2 Same Side Interior Angles:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of the same side interior angles are supplementary

Section 7-2
Proving Lines Parallel

Postulate 7-2 Converse of Corresponding Angles:
if two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Theorem 7-3 Converse of Alternate Interior Angles:
If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel

Theorem 7-4 Converse of Same Side Interior Angles:
If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of same side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel
