This is a list of all of the theorems that you know and that will be helpful when working on proofs for the rest of the unit. In the Notes section I would like you to write anything that will help you remember the theorem, such as an example problem, writing the theorem in your own word, a picture of what the theorem represents, etc. In the Proof section I would like you write the proof of the theorem. These are all theorems that you have seen and/or written the proof of before in math 3 or in previous classes. If you do not remember the proof use your book, the internet (remember to cite your source), your classmates, and as always Mr. G and I as a resource. The two proofs that you are responsible for are due Monday 2-‐3-‐14. Notes and 3 questions on proofs are due Wednesday 2-‐5-‐14 The final project will be due Friday 2-‐7-‐14.

If two lines are intersected by a transversal and co-‐interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. Notes:
Proof:
If two lines are perpendicular to the same transversal, then they are parallel. Notes:
Proof: Lines k and l are cut by t, the transversal. <1(top right of line k) and <5(top of line “l” left) are corresponding angles, along with <3(bottom right of line k) to <7(bottom right of line l), <2(top left of line k) to <6(bottom left of line l), and <4(bottom left of line k) to <8(bottom left of line l). The definition of corresponding angles is, “if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent”. The converse of that statement is, “if the corresponding angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.” Since all angles equal 90 degrees, all corresponding angles are congruent. Thus, two line perpendicular to a transversal are parallel.
If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other one also. Notes:

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then consecutive angles are supplementary. Notes
Proof: Lets consider two consecutive angles DAB and ABC. Draw the straight line AE as the continuation of the side AB of the parallelogram ABCD. Then the angle CBE is congruent to the angle DAB as these angles are the corresponding angles at the parallel lines AC and BC and the transverse AE. The angles ABC and CBE are adjacent supplementary angles and make in sum the straight angle ABE of 180°. Therefore, two consecutive angles DAB and ABC are non-‐adjacent supplementary angles and make in sum the straight angle of 180°. Similarly, consider two other consecutive angles ABC and BCD. Draw the straight line BF as the continuation of the side BC of the parallelogram ABCD. Then the angle DCF is congruent to the angle ABC as these angles are the corresponding angles at the parallel lines DC and AB and the transverse BF. The angles BCD and DCF are adjacent supplementary angles and make in sum the straight angle BCF of 180°. Therefore, two consecutive angles ABC and BCD are non-‐adjacent supplementary angles and make in sum the straight angle of 180°. You can repeat these steps for the other two sets of consecutive angles. Therefore if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram then all the of the consecutive angles are supplementary.
