6. Proving Lines Parallel
Sign In
What is the relation between angles ∠ 7 and ∠ 8?
Parallel Lines: r ∥ s
Theorem: Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
We can see that ∠ 7 and ∠ 8 are consecutive interior angles of lines r and s. Additionally, we are told that the sum of m∠ 7 and m∠ 8 is 180. m∠ 7+m∠ 8=180 This means that ∠ 7 and ∠ 8 are supplementary angles. Therefore, by the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem, we get that r ∥ s.
