Postulate 15 –

Corresponding Angles Postulate

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

3.2 – Use Parallel Lines and Transversals Example 1: Identify congruent angles

The measure of three of the numbered angles is 55 degrees. Identify the angles. Explain your reasoning.

What are the measures of the other angles in the picture?

3.2 – Use Parallel Lines and Transversals Example 9 – Solve a real world problem.

When sunlight enters a drop of rain, different colors of light leave the drop at different angles. This process is what makes a rainbow. For violet light, m<2 = 40 degrees. What is m<1? How do you know?
