alternate interior angles theorem

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u knw how to recognize corresponding angles ?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

im not really good at it... but kinda

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha, \(\angle 2 \) and \(\angle 6\) are corresponding angles. convince urself this first

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

yea so <1 &<5 are corresponding

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yea! you're brilliant :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when lines are parallel, then corresponding angles are congruent.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2. \(\angle 2 \cong \angle 6\) 2. By Corresponding Angles postulate

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Does that make sense

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

yea that makes sense

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Next, are you familiar wid "Vertical angles" ?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

the ones that go up and down on a line

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1371489856641:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when two lines cut, vertical angles are formed.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1371489911430:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

those two are vertical angles, they are congruent.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Vertical angles are always congruent.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

alright i understand that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3. \(\angle 4 \cong \angle 2\) 3. Vertical angles are congruent

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

i see

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

so how do i prove <4 & <6 are congruent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

last one is bit easy, i want u think and figure out

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

alternate interior angles are congruent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope. thats what u need to prove. u cant use wat u proving as a reason lol

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

lol it was worth a shot so nope i have no idea

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at 2, 3 statements. stare at them.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

statement 3 says : \(\angle 4 \cong \angle 2\) statement 2 says : \(\angle 2 \cong \angle 6\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we have this, if a=b, and b=c, then a = c, wat property is it ?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

they are the same

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when u doing proofs, u shouldnt say "they are same" without saying "why they're same"

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

symmetry

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

close, try again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if a=b, and b=c, then a = c, wat property is it ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

google.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

transitive lol sorry i was looking in my notes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes !

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

hooray

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good job :)

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

ty @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :D
