Study Notes

Congruent Supplements Theorem

  • States that if two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are congruent.
  • This theorem applies when angles are supplementary to either the same angle or congruent angles.

Converse of Congruent Supplements Theorem

  • If two angles are congruent, they are supplementary to the same angle or to congruent angles.

Alternate Interior Angles

  • Defined as the angles situated between two lines on opposite sides of a transversal.
  • Useful in determining relationships between angles in parallel lines and transversals.

Alternate Exterior Angles

  • These angles lie outside a pair of lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.
  • They can help determine if lines are parallel based on their congruence.

Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem

  • If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
  • This theorem is key in analyzing angles formed by parallel lines.

Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

  • If alternate interior angles created by a transversal are congruent, then the two lines being crossed are parallel.

Corresponding Angles Postulate

  • States that if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the corresponding angles formed are congruent.
  • This postulate is pivotal in angle relationships within parallel line setups.

Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate

  • If two coplanar lines are intersected by a transversal and a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines must be parallel.
  • This postulate aids in proving parallelism between lines based on angle measures.
