    Study Notes

    Lines and Angles

    • Parallel Lines: Coplanar lines that do not intersect.
    • Skew Lines: Non-coplanar lines that are neither parallel nor intersecting.

    Plane and Line Relationships

    • A plane and a line that do not intersect are considered parallel.

    Transversals

    • Transversal: A line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at distinct points.

    Angle Properties with Transversals

    • Same Side Interior Angles Postulate: If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the same side interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180°).
    • Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: Alternate interior angles created by a transversal intersecting parallel lines are congruent (equal in measure).
    • Corresponding Angles Theorem: Corresponding angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines are congruent.
    • Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: Also, alternate exterior angles are congruent when a transversal intersects parallel lines.

    Converse Theorems

    • Converse of Corresponding Angles Theorem: If two lines and a transversal form congruent corresponding angles, the lines are parallel.
    • Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: Congruent alternate interior angles indicate that the lines are parallel.
    • Converse of Same Side Interior Angles Theorem: If same side interior angles are supplementary, the lines are parallel.
    • Converse of Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: Congruent alternate exterior angles denote that the lines are parallel.

    Additional Theorems

    • Theorem 3.8: If two lines are parallel to the same line, then those two lines are parallel to each other.
    • Theorem 3.9: If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, they are parallel to one another.
    • Perpendicular Transversal Theorem: A line perpendicular to one of two parallel lines is also perpendicular to the other.

    Basic Geometric Principles

    • Parallel Postulate: Through a point not on a line, only one line can be drawn parallel to the given line.
    • Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem: The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

    Auxiliary Lines and Angles

    • Auxiliary Line: A line added to a diagram to clarify relationships between geometric figures.
    • Exterior Angle of a Polygon: Formed by a side and the extension of an adjacent side.
    • Remote Interior Angles: In a triangle, these are the two angles that do not share a vertex with a given exterior angle.

    Exterior Angles in Triangles

    • Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem: Each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
