For Exercises 12-15, use the given information. Which lines in the figure can you conclude are parallel?

For Exercises 12-15, use the given information. Which lines in the figure can you conclude are parallel? State the theorem that justifies each answer. SEE EXAMPLES 1 AND 3.
12. ∠2 ≅ ∠3
13. ∠6 ≅ ∠7
14. ∠1 ≅ ∠4
15. m∠5 + m∠8 = 180°
16. Write a flow proof of the Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem. SEE EXAMPLE 2.
Use the diagram for Exercises 17 and 18. SEE EXAMPLE 2.
17. Given a ∥ b and b ∥ c, write a flow proof of Theorem 2-8.
18. Given a ∥ d and b ∥ d, write a flow proof of Theorem 2-9.
19. For what value of x is f ∥ g? Which theorem justifies your answer? SEE EXAMPLE 5.
20. Copy the diagram from Exercise 19. Construct a line parallel to line g. SEE EXAMPLE 4.

Answer

  1. 12. Lines l and m are parallel. Justification: Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.

  2. 13. Lines p and q are parallel. Justification: Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.

  3. 14. Lines l and m are parallel. Justification: Corresponding Angles Postulate.

  4. 15. Lines p and q are parallel. Justification: Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem.

  5. 16. Flow Proof: Assume ∠1 ≅ ∠2. By the Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, if alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. Therefore, the lines are parallel.

  6. 17. Flow Proof: Given a ∥ b and b ∥ c, by the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines, a ∥ c.

  7. 18. Flow Proof: Given a ∥ d and b ∥ d, by the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines, a ∥ b.

  8. 19. For x = 8, lines f and g are parallel. Justification: Corresponding Angles Postulate.

  9. 20. Construction: Use a straightedge and compass to draw a line parallel to line g through a given point not on line g.
