Identify and use the Corresponding Angles Postulate. Identify and use the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. Identify and use the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem. Identify and use the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. Introduction In the last lesson, you learned to identify different categories of angles formed by intersecting lines. This lesson builds on that knowledge by identifying the mathematical relationships inherent within these categories. Parallel Lines with a Transversal—Review of Terms As a quick review, it is helpful to practice identifying different categories of angles. Example 1 In the diagram below, two vertical parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Identify the pairs of corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles. Concept 1. Parallel Lines and Transversals 2 www.ck12.org • Corresponding angles: Corresponding angles are formed on different lines, but in the same relative position to the transversal—in other words, they face the same direction. There are four pairs of corresponding angles in this diagram—6 6 and 6 8, 6 7 and 6 1, 6 5 and 6 3, and 6 4 and 6 2. • Alternate interior angles: These angles are on the interior of the lines crossed by the transversal and are on opposite sides of the transversal. There are two pairs of alternate interior angles in this diagram—6 7 and 6 3, and 6 8 and 6 4. • Alternate exterior angles: These are on the exterior of the lines crossed by the transversal and are on opposite sides of the transversal. There are two pairs of alternate exterior angles in this diagram—6 1 and 6 5, and 6 2 and 6 6. • Consecutive interior angles: Consecutive interior angles are in the interior region of the lines crossed by the transversal, and are on the same side of the transversal. There are two pairs of consecutive interior angles in this diagram—6 7 and 6 8 and 6 3 and 6 4. Corresponding Angles Postulate By now you have had lots of practice and should be able to easily identify relationships between angles. Corresponding Angles Postulate: If the lines crossed by a transversal are parallel, then corresponding angles will be congruent. Examine the following diagram. You already know that 6 2 and 6 3 are corresponding angles because they are formed by two lines crossed by a transversal and have the same relative placement next to the transversal. The Corresponding Angles postulate says that because the lines are parallel to each other, the corresponding angles will be congruent. Example 2 In the diagram below, lines pand qare parallel. What is the measure of 6 1? Because lines p and q are parallel, the 120◦ angle and 6 1 are corresponding angles, we know by the Corresponding Angles Postulate that they are congruent. Therefore, m6 1 = 120◦ . www.ck12.org 3 Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Now that you know the Corresponding Angles Postulate, you can use it to derive the relationships between all other angles formed when two lines are crossed by a transversal. Examine the angles formed below. If you know that the measure of 6 1 is 120◦ , you can find the measurement of all the other angles. For example, 6 1 and 6 2 must be supplementary (sum to 180◦ ) because together they are a linear pair (we are using the Linear Pair Postulate here). So, to find m6 2, subtract 120◦ from 180◦ . m6 2 = 180◦ − 120◦ m6 2 = 60◦ So, m6 2 = 60◦ . Knowing that 6 2 and 6 3 are also supplementary means that m6 3 = 120◦ , since 120 + 60 = 180. If m6 3 = 120◦ , then m6 4 must be 60◦ , because 6 3 and 6 4 are also supplementary. Notice that 6 1 ∼ = 6 3 (they both ◦ ◦ ∼ measure 120 ) and 6 2 = 6 4 (both measure 60 ). These angles are called vertical angles. Vertical angles are on opposite sides of intersecting lines, and will always be congruent by the Vertical Angles Theorem, which we proved in an earlier chapter. Using this information, you can now deduce the relationship between alternate interior angles. Example 3 Lines land min the diagram below are parallel. What are the measures of angles αand β? Concept 1. Parallel Lines and Transversals 4 www.ck12.org In this problem, you need to find the angle measures of two alternate interior angles given an exterior angle. Use what you know. There is one angle that measures 80◦ . Angle β corresponds to the 80◦ angle. So by the Corresponding Angles Postulate, m6 β = 80◦ . Now, because 6 α is made by the same intersecting lines and is opposite the 80◦ angle, these two angles are vertical angles. Since you already learned that vertical angles are congruent, we conclude m6 α = 80◦ . Finally, compare angles α and β. They both measure 80◦ , so they are congruent. This will be true any time two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. We have shown that alternate interior angles are congruent in this example. Now we need to show that it is always true for any angles. Alternate Interior Angles Theorem Alternate interior angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal will always be congruent. ← → ← → ← → • Given: AB and CD are parallel lines crossed by transversal XY • Prove that Alternate Interior Angles are congruent Note: It is sufficient to prove that one pair of alternate interior angles are congruent. Let’s focus on proving 6 DW Z ∼ = 6 W ZA. TABLE 1.1: Statement ← → ← → 1. ABkCD 2. 6 DW Z ∼ = 6 BZX ∼ 3. 6 BZX = 6 W ZA 4. 6 DW Z ∼ = 6 W ZA Reason 1.Given 2. Corresponding Angles Postulate 3. Vertical Angles Theorem 4. Transitive property of congruence Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem Now you know that pairs of corresponding, vertical, and alternate interior angles are congruent. We will use logic to show that Alternate Exterior Angles are congruent—when two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, of course. Example 4 Lines gand hin the diagram below are parallel. If m6 4 = 43◦ , what is the measure of 6 5? www.ck12.org 5 You know from the problem that m6 4 = 43◦ . That means that 6 40 s corresponding angle, which is 6 3, will measure 43◦ as well. The corresponding angle you just filled in is also vertical to 6 5. Since vertical angles are congruent, you can conclude m6 5 = 43◦ . This example is very similar to the proof of the alternate exterior angles Theorem. Here we write out the theorem in whole: Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem If two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent. We omit the proof here, but note that you can prove alternate exterior angles are congruent by following the method of example 4, but not using any particular measures for the angles. Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem The last category of angles to explore in this lesson is consecutive interior angles. They fall on the interior of the parallel lines and are on the same side of the transversal. Use your knowledge of corresponding angles to identify their mathematical relationship. Example 5 Lines rand sin the diagram below are parallel. If the angle corresponding to 6 1measures 76◦ , what is m6 2? Concept 1. Parallel Lines and Transversals 6 www.ck12.org This process should now seem familiar. The given 76◦ angle is adjacent to 6 2 and they form a linear pair. Therefore, the angles are supplementary. So, to find m6 2, subtract 76◦ from 180◦ . m6 2 = 180 − 76 m6 2 = 104◦ This example shows that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the consecutive interior angles are supplementary; they sum to 180◦ . This is called the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. We restate it here for clarity. Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem If two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal, then consecutive interior angles are supplementary. Proof: You will prove this as part of your exercises.
