Transversal means: Parallel lines with a perpendicular transversal lk and tk so tl This is a short proof which takes advantage of the theorem: “if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of alternate angles are equal.” Don’t worry if that didn’t make sense! Just take away that there is a rule that tells us if lines l and k are parallel, and t is perpendicular to k, then t is also perpendicular to l. Geometry Geometry is a refined system built on a few rules such as, “Given any two distinct points, there is exactly one line that connects them.” From these basic rules we find many consequences. Euclid: Mac-Daddy of Math Geometry While geometric reasoning had been used for hundreds of years before him, Euclid is considered the Father of modern geometry. In 300 BC this dude wrote Elements. These books did not only mean “This is how Geometry will be” but ,“this is how all mathematics will be set up forever. The end. Go home.” Geometry In book one of Elements Euclid used ten postulates (rules) and from them proved many theorems, such as the Pythagorean Theorem; the Vertical Angle Theorem; and the interior-angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫. While the Pythagorean Theorem had been used for thousands of years before Euclid, Euclid was the first to systematically prove every theorem which the Pythagorean Theorem relied on. Vertical Angle Theorem The Vertical Angle Theorem states: the angles formed by two transversal lines will form vertical congruent pairs. “∠ 1” means angle 1 For example: ∠ 1 and ∠ 3 will have the same measure. As will ∠ 2 and it’s vertical partner, which is 120〫. Vertical Angle Theorem The Vertical Angle Theorem states: the angles formed by two transversal lines will form vertical congruent pairs. Now we know: ∠ 2 = 120 〫 ∠ 1 ∠ 3 (read ∠1 is congruent to ∠3) We also know every straight line has an angle of _____〫 Vertical Angle Theorem The Vertical Angle Theorem states: the angles formed by two transversal lines will form vertical congruent pairs. We also know every straight line has an angle of 180〫 Now we know: ∠ 2 = 120 〫 ∠1 ∠ 3 ∠ 3 + 120 〫= 180 〫 Vertical Angle Theorem Now we know: ∠ 2 = 120 〫 ∠ 1 ∠ 3 ∠ 3 + 120 〫 = 180 〫 So, ∠ 3 = 180 〫- 120 〫 = __ 〫 And ∠ 1 = __ 〫 Vertical Angle Theorem Now we know: ∠ 2 = 120 〫 ∠ 1 ∠ 3 ∠ 3 + 120 〫 = 180 〫 So, ∠ 3 = 180 〫 - 120 〫 = 60〫 And ∠ 1 = 60〫 Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem Let’s start out with what we already know about these angles from the Vertical Angle Theorem: ∠ a … Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem The actual proof for the Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem requires the use of contra-positive reasoning. Basically, this means we show the theorem is true by lying first. We say the theorem is false, then reach an impossible conclusion as a result! Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem For the sake of time we are going to assume the AlternateInterior-Angle Theorem is true! The Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem (AIA) tells us if a transversal line crosses two parallel lines then the alternate interior angles are congruent. Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem The Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem (AIA) tells us if a transversal line crosses two parallel lines then the alternate interior angles are congruent. So: ∠d ∠e Now use the AIA and vertical angles to show ∠a ≅ ∠h ∠ Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem Now show ∠d + ∠f = 180˚ Use this conclusion to show every parallelogram has an interior angle sum of 360˚ Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 Now using: Alternate-Interior-Angle Theorem; a Vertical Angle Theorem; And the fact that straight lines have b c an angle measure of 180 〫 Show that the interior angle sum of every triangle is 180 〫 Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 a b c Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 b b Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 b a b c Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 c c Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 b c a b c Proving the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 〫 b c a
