Alternate Exterior Angles are Congruent
Review Theorems:1) Vertical angles are congruent.2) Linear pairs are supplementary
(180°)3) The sum of the measures of the
angles in a triangle is 180°

Proofs Involving Parallel LinesPart 1: Given Parallel Lines
When you know that you are working with parallel lines you can use the theorems we learned yesterdays as reasons within your proof:
A. Alternate interior angles are congruent, when lines are parallel.
B. Corresponding angles are congruent, when lines are parallel.
C. Alternate exterior angles are congruent, when lines are parallel.
D. Same side interior angles are supplementary, when lines are parallel
Examples:
Statements Reasons
1) , and ABDCE // 21 1) Given
2) <1 = <A, <2 = <B2) Alternate Interior angles ,
when lines //.
3) <A = <B 3) Substitution Postulate
Part 2: Proving Lines Parallel
To prove two lines parallel we can use the converse of many of our theorems involving parallel lines.
A. If a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
B. If a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
C. If a pair of same side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
There are two more methods of proving lines are parallel.
D. Two lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other. (Transitive Property)

2) <ABD = <CBD2) A bisector divides the < into 2 congruent <‘s
3) <CBD = <CDB 3) If two sides of a Δ are congruent, then <‘s opposite are congruent4) <ABD = <CDB4) Substitution (or Transitive)
5) BACD //5) If a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

3) AC = AC 3) Reflexive Postulate
4) ΔABC = ΔCDA 4) SAS
5) <BAC = <DCA 5) CPCTC
6) CDAB // 6) If a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
