Proving Lines Parallel - Postulates & Theorems l If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. Lesson 2 -5: Proving Lines Parallel 2
Proving Lines Parallel - Postulates &Theorems l If two lines are cut by a transversal and alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. Lesson 2 -5: Proving Lines Parallel 3
Proving Lines Parallel - Postulates &Theorems l If two lines are cut by a transversal and same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. Lesson 2 -5: Proving Lines Parallel 4
Proving Lines Parallel - Postulates &Theorems l If two lines are cut by a transversal and same-side exterior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. Lesson 2 -5: Proving Lines Parallel 5
