Alternate Interior Angles
Two angles are alternate interior angles if they lie
between L and M on opposite sides of t, such as

Transitive Property
If a=b and b=c, then a=c
What does this remind you of?!
Example
Given: 1 3 and 3 5
What can we conclude?
1 5 due to the Transitive Property
Corresponding Angles
Postulate
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
then corresponding angles are congruent.

Same-Side Interior Angles
Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a
transversal, then same-side
interior angles are supplements.
2 and 5 are supplementary
3 and 8 are supplementary

Properties of Parallel Lines
In the diagram above, l || m.
Find the values of a, b, and c.
a = 65
c = 40
a + b + c = 180
65 + b + 40 = 180
b = 75
