If two parallel lines are cut by a transverse, then the sum of the two exterior angles on one side of the traversal is what?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1355282339670:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 180 degree?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since the lines are parallel, angles 1 and 3 are congruent because they are corresponding angles. So m<1 = m<2 Angles 2 and 3 are supplementary, so m<2 + m<3 = 180 Therefore by substitution, m<2 + m<1 = 180

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes, you're right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm getting a bit better at geometry!!! yay:) No it's time to focus more on traversals and proofs

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That's good. If you have questions, post them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm about to post one about finding angles in a traversal

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

ok, I'll look for it.
