3 questions? I'll medal and fan!
Do you remember the relationships for the angles formed when a transversal line crosses two parallel lines
|dw:1421895259410:dw|
opposite interior angles are equal f = b a = d
I'm confused completely
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
Explain?
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.
This is the theorem for the first line in the proof... http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/alternate-interior-angles.html

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
So would that mean #1 is given?
That means the reason #1 is true is because alternate interior angles are equal
Here is the statement in the box for #1.. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/alternate-interior-angles.html
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"
Here is the statement for #2 .. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/vertical-angles.html
