Do you remember the relationships for the angles formed when a transversal line crosses two parallel lines

OpenStudy (danjs):

|dw:1421895259410:dw|

OpenStudy (danjs):

opposite interior angles are equal f = b a = d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused completely

OpenStudy (danjs):

Angles opposite to one another in a pair of crossed lines are equal, they are called Vertical angles. f = h g = a d = c e = b All vertical angle pairs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain?

OpenStudy (danjs):

When two parallel lines are crossed by a 3rd line called a transversal, the angles formed are related to each other. Opposite interior angles, like angle b and angle f, or angles a and d will be equal.

OpenStudy (danjs):

This is the theorem for the first line in the proof... http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/alternate-interior-angles.html

OpenStudy (danjs):

The arrows means that AD and BC are parallel lines. Alternate interior angles are equal to one another. Angle A = Angle C Angle D = Angle B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would that mean #1 is given?

OpenStudy (danjs):

That means the reason #1 is true is because alternate interior angles are equal

OpenStudy (danjs):

Here is the statement in the box for #1.. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/alternate-interior-angles.html

OpenStudy (danjs):

For the Second Line Angle AED = Angle CEB "Vertical angles" - are the angles on opposite sides of 2 crossing lines. They are also equal. Angle DEA = Angle CEB Angle AEB = Angle DEC both are pairs of "vertical angles"

OpenStudy (danjs):

Here is the statement for #2 .. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/vertical-angles.html
