What condition proves that two lines are parallel using corresponding angles?

Back

If the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

What condition proves that two lines are parallel using alternate interior angles?

Back

If the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

If angle 1 is 108 degrees, what can be inferred about angle 2 if lines s and t are parallel?

Back

Angle 2 must also be 108 degrees if it is a corresponding angle.

What is the relationship between angle pairs when two lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

The relationships include corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and same-side interior angles.

Front

What is the significance of angle congruence in proving lines are parallel?

Back

Angle congruence indicates that the lines do not intersect and maintain a constant distance apart.
