Explore Resource Locker Writing Converses of Parallel Line Theorems You form the converse of and if-then statement "if p, then q" by swapping p and q. The converses of the postulate and theorems you have learned about lines cut by a transversal are true statements. In the Explore, you will write specific cases of each of these converses. The diagram shows two lines cut by a transversal t. Use the diagram and the given statements in Steps A–D. You will complete the statements based on your work in Steps A–D. t 1 2 4 3 Statements lines ℓ and m are parallel ∠2 ≅ ∠ ∠2 and ∠ ∠ A are supplementary © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company then lines ℓ and m are parallel ∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary lines ℓ and m are parallel , then ∠2 and ∠ 3 , .

Possible answer: Reverse the hypothesis and conclusion; for a statement “ifp, then q”, the converse is “if q, then p.” 2. What kind of angles are ∠2 and ∠6 in Step C? What does the converse you wrote in Step C mean? Possible answer: alternate interior angles; if the two alternate interior angles ∠2 and ∠3 are congruent, then the lines ℓ and m are parallel. Explain 1 Proving that Two Lines are Parallel The converses from the Explore can be stated formally as a postulate and two theorems. (You will prove the converses of the theorems in the exercises.) Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem If two lines are cut by a transversal so that any pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. Converse of the Corresponding Angles Theorem If two lines are cut by a transversal so that any pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. You can use these converses to decide whether two lines are parallel. to make an ornamental design.

The Parallel Postulate Through a point P not on line ℓ, there is exactly one line parallel to ℓ. Example 2 Use a compass and straightedge to construct parallel lines.

Discussion Explain how you know that the construction in Part A or Part B produces a line passing through the given point that is parallel to the given line. In each case, the construction creates two congruent corresponding angles. In Part A, for example, lines ℓ and m are cut by a transversal and a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, so the lines are parallel (Converse of the Corresponding Angles Theorem). Your Turn 7. ℓ Construct a line m through P parallel to line ℓ. m P Using Angle Pair Relationships to Verify Lines are Parallel Explain 3 When two lines are cut by a transversal, you can use relationships of pairs of angles to decide if the lines are parallel. Example 3 Use the given angle relationships to decide whether the t lines are parallel.

How are the converses in this lesson different from the postulate/theorems in the previous lesson? In the previous lesson, we knew lines were parallel and things about angles; here, we know things about angle pairs, and lines are parallel. 11. What If? Suppose two lines are cut by a transversal such that alternate interior angles are both congruent and supplementary. Describe the lines. The lines are parallel and all the angles are 90°. The transversal is perpendicular to the lines. 12.
