6. Proving Lines Parallel
Sign In
What is the relation between angles ∠ 3 and ∠ 6?
Parallel Lines: u ∥ v
Theorem: Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
We can see that ∠ 3 and ∠ 6 are consecutive interior angles of lines u and v. Additionally, we are told that the sum of m∠ 3 and m∠ 6 is 180. m∠ 3+m∠ 6=180 This means that ∠ 3 and ∠ 6 are supplementary angles. Therefore, by the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem we get that u ∥ v.
