Lesson 3-11: Constructing a Parallel Line (through a point P)
Learning goal: How do I construct a line parallel to a given line through a specific point? How do I
justify the construction of parallel lines?
Let’s Discover A New Construction!
Fact Check Before we Construct!
State a pair of corresponding angles that you see below:
If we know that these angles are congruent,
what can we conclude about lines S and T?
Parallel Line Angle Theorem
If corresponding angles are congruent, then line m and line n are _________________.
Let’s Predict!
After looking at the model, how might we be able to use our knowledge of copying an angle to construct
parallel lines?

1) Which geometric principle is used to justify the construction below?
a) A line perpendicular to one of two parallel lines
is perpendicular to the other.
b) Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect to
form congruent adjacent angles.
c)
When two lines are intersected by a transversal
and alternate interior angles are congruent, the
lines are parallel.
d) When two lines are intersected by a transversal
and the corresponding angles are congruent,
the lines are parallel.
2) Based on the diagram below determine which lines are parallel, be sure to explain why.
