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.
