Proving Lines Parallel in Geometry

In this lesson, the teacher introduces the concept of proving lines are parallel using the converse of various angle theorems. The lesson covers the converse of the corresponding angles theorem, alternate interior angles theorem, alternate exterior angles theorem, and same side interior angles theorem. The teacher provides examples and proof practices to help students understand how to apply these theorems to determine if lines are parallel. The lesson emphasizes the importance of not assuming lines are parallel without given information and demonstrates how to solve for unknown variables to prove parallelism.

What is the main topic of today's lesson?
