Geometry 4.5 Parrel Lines

This document discusses parallel lines and transversals. It defines key terms like planes, coplanar lines, transversals, and their angles. When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and corresponding angles are congruent. Knowing one angle allows determining all eight angles if two lines cut by a transversal are parallel. Parallel lines do not intersect and are equidistant while being coplanar, whereas skew lines are neither coplanar nor parallel.

Parallel Lines

Lesson 4.5
Objective:
Recognize planes and transversals,
identify the pairs of angles formed
by a transversal and recognize
parallel lines.
Plane:
•A surface with any two points
connected by a line. There must be at
least one point not on the line.
•Has only two dimensions, length and
width (infinite).
•Has no thickness.

Plane m
Coplanar:
• Points that lie on the same
plane (like collinear).

Non-coplanar:
• Points that do not lie on the same
plane.
Transversals:
• A line that intersects two coplanar
lines in two distinct points. Not always
parallel.

Parts of a transversal:
Exterior region
Interior region
Exterior region
Transversals angles:
• Alternate Interior Angles: angles on opposite
sides of the transversal in the interior region.
• Alternate Exterior Angles: angles on opposite
sides if the transversal in the exterior region.
• Corresponding Angles: angles in the same
position in relation to the transversal.

What other angles are congruent???
Notice: if you know one angle in a set of
transversal lines where two of the lines are
parallel, you know all eight angles.

Parallel lines:
• Two coplanar lines that do not intersect.
(equidistance apart)
• Symbol ll or on lines > >
• Segments and rays can also be parallel.
• To be parallel, the lines MUST BE
COPLANAR!
Skew lines:
• Lines that never touch aren’t
coplanar or parallel!
