Section 4 - Proofs with Angles and Transversals
Angles have many theorems that can be used to prove new ideas.
Definitions-
angles a and b are a linear pair. a + b = 180 degrees
angles c and d are vertical angles. c = d
Theorems-
-If two angles are a linear pair, then they are supplementary
-Angles that are supplementary to the same angle or to congruent angles are congruent
-Angles that are complementary to the same angle or to congruent angles are congruent
-All right angles are congruent
-Vertical angles are congruent
-Perpendicualr lines intersect to form 4 right angles

a + b = c . (angle addition theorem.
A transversal is a line that crosses two parallel lines.

Line m is parallel to n, so p is the transversal. All of the new postulates for transversals involve the angles formed. The angles formed by the transversal are named for their relation to the transversal.
angles d,e,a and h are exterior angles. angles c,f,b and g are interior angles
-opposite angles in a transversal are congruent a = g and c = e
-adjacent angles are supplementary, and they add up to 180 degrees. h + g = 180 degrees, e + f = 180 degrees.
-alternate interior angles are congruent, b = f and c = g
-consecutive interior angles are supplementary, b + c = 180, g + f = 180
-alternate exterior angles are congruent, a = e, d = h
-consecutive exterior angles are supplementary, a + d = 180, h + e = 180
-corresponding angles are congruent, g = e, b = d, c = a, f = h
The proofs for angles and transversals are still written in the two column form, you just have more postulates now.
