Parallel Lines Proofs and Mixed Practice 2022-2023

The document provides examples of proofs involving parallel lines and mixed geometry practice problems. It begins by asking the reader to prove three theorems about parallel lines - the alternate interior angles theorem, alternate exterior angles theorem, and consecutive interior angles theorem - using only the corresponding angles postulate. It then provides a list of commonly used geometry terms, formulas, theorems and postulates. Finally, it presents six mixed practice problems involving parallel lines and other geometry concepts to work through.

Parallel Lines Proofs and Mixed Practice

For each of the proofs below, you may use the Corresponding Angles Postulate but no other theorems
about parallel lines. Once we have proven the theorems below, we can use them on future proofs.

Prove the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

Prove the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem

Prove the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem


Here is a list of the main Geometry tools in your toolbox so far…
• Definitions of these terms:
Collinear Points Midpoint Right Angle
Coplanar Points Segment Bisector Obtuse Angle
Opposite Rays Angle Bisector Straight Angle
Between Congruence Complementary Angles
Adjacent Angles Acute Angle Supplementary Angles

• Formulas:
Pythagorean Theorem Distance Formula Midpoint Formula

• Theorems and Postulates:


Segment Addition Postulate
Angle Addition Postulate
Linear Pair Postulate
Vertical Angles Theorem
Parallel Lines ⟹ Corresponding Angles are Congruent
Parallel Lines ⟹ Alternate Interior Angles are Congruent
Parallel Lines ⟹ Alternate Exterior Angles are Congruent
Parallel Lines ⟹ Consecutive Interior Angles are Supplementary

Next Class we will add these to your toolbox…


Corresponding Angles are Congruent ⟹ Parallel Lines
Alternate Interior Angles are Congruent ⟹ Parallel Lines
Alternate Exterior Angles are Congruent ⟹ Parallel Lines
Consecutive Interior Angles are Supplementary ⟹ Parallel Lines
