SOLs: G.2
Textbook Sections: All of chapter 3
Study Resources: Notes distributed in class, flipchart PDFs (on my web site under “Class
Summary”), checkpoints, homework, textbook (chapter review pp. 202-205, chapter test p. 206,
extra practice pp. 900-901), and textbook website (classzone.com; click link on my web page).
How to Study: Review notes, checkpoints, and textbook chapters for each section, as well as
reviewing the summaries written here. Don’t limit study to the questions in this study guide!!

Things to Know:

Identify corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, corresponding interior, and
vertical angles formed when a transversal crosses two lines (parallel or not).

Know congruence/supplementary postulate/theorems for these angles if the transversal
crosses parallel lines; find missing angle values based on these theorems.

Apply the converse theorems of above: be able to find missing angle values that would make
lines parallel.

Be able to identify whether lines are parallel or perpendicular, given the lines themselves or
two points on a line.

Be able to graph linear equations and write a linear equation given a line.

Be able to write a linear equation that is parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes
through a point not on the line.

Understand the meaning of “perpendicular” such that missing angle measures can be found
given a set of perpendicular lines.

Be able to find the distance, using the distance formula, between two parallel lines.
